8. How many kilts do you have: 8 currently, 2 more on order.

9. How many kilts are you planning to acquire on the next year: As many as I can without getting killed by my spouse.

10. What got you started in this in the first place: After I had my latest surgery on my bad leg the doctor put me in a cast so large that I could not wear pants. I'd always wanted a kilt anyway and this seemed like the perfect opportunity. Once I started wearing one I realized how incredibly comfortable they were. After the cast came off and the stitches came out I realized that another benefit of the kilt was that I didn't have to try to point my foot when dressing as is required with trousers - it's incredibly painful for me to do that. So I've gotten rid of all my pants and been 100% kilted since then.

11. Where was the last time/place you wore your kilt? I wear a kilt everywhere except in the shower, swimming pool and in bed. The last public place I went kilted was to a restaurant last night for dinner.

12. Favorite time to wear a kilt: Every waking moment.

13. Last person who gave your favorable feedback about your kilt wearing: I seem to get favorable comments a lot from the ladies. Last one was at church last week.

14. Last person who gave your UNfavorable feedback about your kilt wearing: I can't even remember the last bit of unfavorable feedback.

15. What’s in YOUR sporran? My wallet, chapstick, pipe tobacco pouch, lighter, & pipe tool.

16. What do you like to do OTHER THAN wear/talk about/obsess over kilts: I love making glass artworks (which is good since it's my business) as well as reading anything but especially theology texts. I also enjoy playing the violin and spending quality time with my dog.

17. Name one thing you have done that others might think a bit insane (like bungee jumping etc): I used to run into burning buildings for a living.

18. Say something totally random about yourself: I really hate being a cripple.

19. What question would you like to answer that hasn’t been included in the list: What decision in life to you regret the most? - Not doing all the dangerous, physically demanding thrill sports that I could before I got injured. I turned down so many chances to sky dive, bungee jump, etc., and now I'll never get a chance.

20. Do you think X Marks the spot is the best kilt discussion group in the world? Of course, what do you think I am, nuts?
