Now I'll share my story... My Shakespeare class was earlier today. There's a very nice woman, in her 40s or early 50s, who's Irish but has been living in England since she was 17. She commented on my coat after class. So I started telling her of the wonders of my coat. How water beads up on it. How it needs to be oiled every couple of years. I went on a bit and she said, "Oh, so it's like a pet, then?" That's it. My Pet Coat. Jim
