Yvonne:

A great interview.

I do, however, feel somewhat cheated. I grew up in Minnesota and, while I can scrape windshields with the best, it seems an inordinate level of creative talent has been bestowed upon those with a southern drawl.

The two of you did an excellent job - thanks for sharing your expertise,
