Jennifer,
Thanks so much for the encouragement. You're right, "we're dudes." You've inspired me to "never stop improving my presentation and to recognize my limits." We just won't pass and that in itself shouldn't stop us from going out. OK, so I've convinced my inner self of that but still not ready. So afraid of what others will think...have always been that way. My wife does tell me that I look better in some skirts and dresses than her friends. She even gave me one of her mother dresses and when I put it on she said, "Wow! you wear that better than my mom ever did." and that was without the pearl necklaces. I did wear off black pantyhose and 3-in pumps. Again, you've got great taste in women's clothes and wear them extremely well.
Tina
