    Kilt Magic

    Read about this from other people but it just happened to me. Took my son to his English Soccer Camp and decided to wear the kilt. I was wondering if they were going to say anything about my kilt. When we arrived I got out of the truck. One of the coaches asked me if I was wearing a kilt. He called to one of the other coaches that he had a surprise for her. Seems she is from Scotland and was delighted to see my kilt. She told me I made her day and gave me a hug. She also had one of the other coaches take a picture of her, myself(yes I am actually in the picture) and my son. Here is the pic. What a great start to the day!!!

    Why are the child and the lady standing so far apart?

    Great picture. Three great smiles. Your son looks like a chip off the old block. Good for him and good for you.
    I changed my signature. The old one was too ridiculous.
