This
is September, hurricane season, and low season, and yet there was another
fantabulous competition for this month's "Robin's Best Shirt Award".
It was a real challenge for Mary and her Executive Judging Committee, and she
instituted something that might become the 'norm' for future competitions; the
contestants had to present themselves and their shirt before the committee with
a reason on why they should win. However, there is the flip side to this
whereby many feel that this formal process might eliminate some very colorful
contenders.
