    A word of explanation regarding my new signature line

    This weekend when I was shopping at Petsmart I met an older Scotish woman who admired my kilt. We got to talking about things Celtic and she gave me the line I am now using as my signature. I use it with her blessing and approval. When I explained I've only been kilted since April of this year, she just smiled and said, "Ah, sometimes intelligence comes later in life." And then she walked away with an extra spring in her step.

    Congrats on making the lady's day I had a similar experience last Friday; the lady was Canadian and said she wished more men would wear the kilt.

    And play the pipes...

    Apparently the area she was from is rich in Scottish influence.

    Quite possibly Nova Scotia, latin for New Scotland and an area of huge Scotish influence.

    Catdad truly a great line and signiture. I wonder who's day was made even more better, yours or hers?
