You nailed it! What a feeling. I've really gone through a lot of those dual emotions while wearing my armor. The last new one was at Halloween. Confirmation from the trick or treaters parents that I was a dork and their kid screaming bloody murder when I came at her with candy. Emotion: "Ohmygawd! I'm a dork and Crap! I'm terrorizing a kid!"
It's been a liberating experience.
Armor's looking good Phil.
