    Thanks all for your kind words of affirmation, and for letting me share here. I realize this is old hat for you all. It is nice to be in the company of the more enlightened, and expereinced in kilting, as I explore new territory - very comforting. I'm looking forward ot many more days in the kilt

    And Graham, our mutual Friend says you're one if His favorites. ;-)

    Great story, thanks.

    If you wanna have some REAL fun, go to a shopping mall and walk around while your wife trails behind you 20 or 30 feet....she'll tell you later about the comments and double takes.

    Thanks Kevin. I enjoyed reading about your first-day observations.
    Sure can be fun watching the reactions, eh?

    Great observations, Kevin.

    I know the feeling of not wanting to feel like you're wearing the kilt as a sociological experiment, but sometimes (I freely admit it) I get a bit of a kick out of wearing it in places where people do not expect nor understand it, just to get their reactions.

    I suppose it's a bit immature, but then, that's just me. I like pushing buttons a bit. And if there's a way to do it while being extraordinarily comfortable and celebrating my roots as well, then I'm-a gonna do it.
