A fine line

I was telling Nathan that I interviewed a very interesting person for a story I am writing.

Nathan: "You called a STRANGER?"

Me: "Well, I was given her number."

Nathan: "So, you're a STALKER?"

Me; "No, I'm a reporter. There's a line. A fine one, but a line nonetheless."

I have to say that the "stalker" part of my job is probably my least favorite, but I LOVE the writing and talking to these great people (after the uncomfortable, "Hello, I am someone you don't know who wants to ask you questions" is behind us!)
