My Lady and I went to the Home Show in Northern Virginia. I was wearing my khaki Flamingo Kilt, with a green cable knit sweater, green balmoral, and garters, with black hose, shoes, belt and sporran. I was finding it interesting that I was getting more comment from my USMC cap badge and belt buckle than the kilt. A lot of my brothers and sisters from the Corps were there, and one of the vendors even gave me a nice discount for being a Marine.
Any way, we were almost through the show when I hear "Now there's a lad who knows how to make a good turn out!" I turn, and there is one of the exhibitors, in a tartan kilt with matching necktie and flashes, very well turned out himself. The exhibit was of custom stained glass windows, doors, lamps and what-have-you, and the fellow in the kilt turns out to be GlassMan from XMarks! We had a nice chat. He said to tell you all he is fine, but he's been working too hard to post here lately. Given the state of the economy, I told him there are worse problems to have. BTW, when we were paying for a lamp Michele decided to buy, he totaled it up as follows: Let's see, regular price is x, it's on sale for y, will the show discount it's z, and $5 more off because you are in a kilt!
First time I've ever run into a fellow XMarkser by accident. It made a good day even better.
