The timing of this post is just too strange. Just a few days ago, I was saying that I was built like a dwarf. Being 5' 7" and ~ 210 lbs (sorry don't know what that is in stones

), I am low to the ground and sturdy.

I attend local Pow Wows here in Maine. I have always felt welcome and join in some of the dances. Next summer, I will go kilted.

People at work don't understand why I go to Pow Wows or Ren Faires. For me, it's a way of getting in touch with parts of me that seem to get trampled in everyday life.

I heard a little girl in the grocery store the other day with the 'mommy that man is wearing a dress". Mother reply was "he must be in a band". If I hadn't been in an extreme hurry I would have stopped and discussed kilts with them, but just thought to myself - 'yup, a band of the kilted.
