    Thank you David for posting that. Although Bobbie and I get our Times Colonist on-line I was having a terrible time figuring out how to post it here.

    I was really concerned about how this interview would turn out. The young lady who wrote the article is from the fashion world and they sometimes have a different slant on how they view The Kilt.

    I almost called off the interview when she wanted to use a model wearing another manufacturer's product. She just didn't know the difference.

    She seemed to be most concerned with "the look" and not the product. In her world it is more about Who is sporting the new look, not what they are wearing.

    Not the best article ever done on me but at least she didn't go for the humor angle.

    Just because you are paranoid doesn't mean they aren't out to get you.

    I understand your concerns going in, Steve, giving an interview is a little like pulling the lever on a slot machine... this one came up a winner. It's a good article.
