Thank you, Gent's....

Went kilted. Arrived early, outside temperature about 87, & fairly blustery. Immediately, had to change into the more traditional pants look. The office gathering was held in the middle of the building complex. Outside of the 4 buildings, the wind wasn't bad. The interior of the complex became a wind tunnel. On the windy side, the angle of the buildings created a great venturi. For myself, curtain weights might have helped, just a bit. SWMBO feared that she might need to remain seated all night. Water from the decorative fountains blew across the area. The roar of the 3.00'' ID water jets made conversation difficult, hearing the Physicians speak from 30' away was impossible. Fortunately, for us, we had been at our daughter's, earlier. Actually, SWMBO was at our daughters, I was working there. Ticking off items on the Lackey Do list (they just bought their first house, & our son-in law blew out his back). As such, an appropriate attire change was available for both of us.

As for kilted attire, the Cardiologists had no issue with anyone being kilted. It is an eclectic group of Physicians. One was ethnically dressed, as was one spouse. The do not do list was, wear nothing revealing, nothing torn, nothing waaay tooo short, & absolutely no heavy drinking. Was it a good time.......eh. Visited with employees I've know for years, that's always good fun. The caterer missed the mark, & the location could have been better. Those agreed to, by most. Sadly, the more opinionated (under 30's) thought all was perfect. That put, they violated most of the don'ts. AND.......they convinced the "CBO" Cardiologist to do it again, next year.
