New Year's reception

[Bob C]

Yes, on the whole the ladies DO still make a special effort to dress-up when going out for the evening, and to functions of the kind you attended. I have heard them say that it is partly because they are paying a compliment to their partners, or that they feel they owe it to their husabands. Why then do the men so often look so scruffy alongside their wives? Do they not also "owe it" to their ladies by similarly making a special effort?

HA! The women don't care about us. They're trying to out-do each other.

Men have no such hang-ups. That's why we wear what we want, unless nagged unmercifully to do otherwise.

[Sherry]

Robin, you're very much a natural at wearing the kilt--you put your look together well, you wear it as if you've always worn it, & you handle rude people with aplomb.

The business associates will surely remember you with high regards.
