The Transformation Is Complete

[Ugly Bear]

And I have been to Greece! My father still lives in Pittsford.

Pittsford, for those who don't know, is the blue-blood district of Rochester. Or so they think. It's a place full of upper-middle-class people who think they're middle-upper-class people. The Pittsford Wegman's (a chain of very high-class supermarkets) is one of the wonders of the city.

My kilt doesn't go down there at all. The customers look at me with deep worry and scurry along. I could be wrong, but I think security follows me there, too.

Upon reflection, that suits me fine.

There's a Celtic crafts store in the adjacent plaza. I made it a habit to ask them every now and then if they would sell kilts. After years of planning, they now have kilts -- for rent only. Meh. Once kilts catch on as everyday wear, the kilt rental business is going to suffer. If only they knew.

Instead of your home, you could be standing in the great room of some castle.

Well, that IS my castle. Get it? Sure you do.

When I lived in Rochester we had names for the different Wegman's stores around. The one in the dirty part of town was Ghetto Weg's, the big one by the mall was Mega Weg's. Then they built the new one in Pittsford, and it became known as Mecca Weg's. It was always worth a trip out there for Mecca Weg's, Barnes & Noble, and the record store across from the shopping centre.

Hey, this could be good for you -- most rental places periodically sell of their stuff, frequently in very good condition. Could be another good source for kilts and jackets for you!!

Well... having left Rochester myself when I was 3, I will defer to you, but my father is a mechanic on a production assembly line and pretty much as far from blue-blood as you can get. Does all his own house and car maintenance, as do I, and will only hire others to do work he is physically incapable of anymore (like re-roofing the house). He has started showing his wealth in the past few years by insisting on Canadian beer instead of domestink, but that is probably because both of my (much) younger sisters are now out of the house and he has a little extra cash.:-D
