    In a bad mood? Wear a kilt!

    I wasn't in a very good mood when I visited the city centre...was in a hurry, found a parking ticket under the wiper earlier, insane traffic and a slight headache

    So I was somewhat grumpy when I finally reached the centre...wearing my 1819 MacLaren/Regent kilt.

    An elderly couple walking in my direction halted and basicly blocked my path...the man tapped his hat and his wife nodded with a friendly smile.
    I smiled back and wanted to get passed them, but the gentlemen stepped aside blocking my path again...I looked at him somewhat confused.
    "Young man! (I'm 46 ) stop running! people can't admire your kilt that way!" His wife added..."you look very nice!" They stepped aside to let me through and wished me a nice day.

    On my way back to the car a nice looking young lady on a bicycle stopped in front of me..."Hey! I really like your kilt!"

    I came home in a very good mood...even though I scored another parking ticket

    Aye, it works for me too. After 13 hours at work yesterday - six 1/2 hours of VERY boring training by a very boring presenter, and two hours talking to 18 people in group, fighting a cold and sore throat that's sweeping the area, all on my birthday...and getting a birthday cake laden with coconut that I can't eat without consequences...I'm tired and grumpy.

    A lady I used to live with was visiting town and called to offer to take me to dinner after group. So about 9:30pm we're walking into a local restaurant when a car full of young Navajo ladies hollar out at me, "Nice Kilt!"

    The other stuff just sort of sluffed away...

    I feel like s... . I hope this theory works.

    Wait.

    Now I feel even worse.

    Which kilt do I take my walk in?



    Go, have fun, don't work at, make it fun! Kilt them, for they know not, what they wear. Where am I now?

    I'm not in an overly-bad mood. But, I think my spirits could use a bit of pepping up... I'm gonna try this one out.

    Ah, who'm I kiddin', I've been kilted all day.

    Been in the low 30s here today and damned windy. Hasn't slowed me down. I will drive over to pick up the wife from work tonight, but only because she'll be grumpy if she has to walk in this wind. She hates a cold wind.
