Nice choice of places to have your picture taken as well. Standing in front of that large mantle and fireplace makes you look even more traditional. Instead of your home, you could be standing in the great room of some castle.

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.

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

Wow! Looking good, Ugly Bear.
I have an aunt that lives in Greece. I lived in Fairport while in Jr. High in the late 60's and early 70's - just down the road from Pittsford. Is the Depot restaurant still around?

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!! ![Very Happy](http://www.xmarksthescot.com/forum/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif)
