Hey everyone - I want to very sincerely apologize to all of you for not posting any programs for a while.  The last 3 months have been pretty intense for me.  My mother had two major surgeries, and I've been extremely preoccupied with her care.  Things are starting to settle down now, however, and I believe I will be able to get some new shows up this week.  Thank you so much for bearing with me - Radio Bastet fans are the greatest and kindest people in the world!!!

With grateful shimmies,
 Marisa~
