i actually find I'm more self-concious when out and about if my wife isn't with me. It's strange, but riding the F train into Manhattan alone takes a couple of deep breaths sometimes.

One of the first times I wore my kilt down to my daughter's elementary school to pick her up, one of the smaller kids (kindergarten, I think) looked at me and said, "Oooooh! You're wearin' a SKIRT!" So I smiled and said, "It's called a Kilt and men wear them, too" So he chewed on that for about 15 seconds and said...

"Oooooh! You're wearin' a SKIRT!"

I had to laugh!
