After church today we had a luncheon for a departing associate pastor, and while standing in line the gentleman behind me spoke to tell me that he'd seen my photo recently in highland dress. It turns out the photo was taken last spring. He asked if I played the pipes, which I don't. His wife then responded, "So, you only wear the costume, then?" I didn't even say anything, just turned around and walked away as if I didn't hear her. Immediately I wished I had informed her that my "costume" was as legitimate as atire as her pant suit. Boy, sometimes my reaction times are just too slow.
