    The RSVP

    Blu, a GREAT response! I'm sure all of us will have an opportunity to use it. I would love to see the face of the recipient.

    Blu, thank you for the most civil and appropriate response possible. I had not expected it so soon, but I did wait for the right response. I was going to think on it before I replied. I am very glad I waited. I wrote verbatim your response only adding "Love Michael" to the end.

    Blu, any thoughts on applying for the position of Ambassador to the UN?

    Not really.... Although I was told once that I might have had a successful career as a professional apologist!

    Hey.... I truly hope things work out for the better for all concerned.

    I am lucky that all my family support my kilt wearing, but it is sad that family members would risk someone not turning up for a party, by putting dress restrictions on the invitation.

    The next step is to invite the family to a big reunion at your place and put post it notes that says it is a "no pants" party.

    Good suggestions there from Blu and Norbydog.
    Whoever wrote the post-it note is obviously a sad inadequate who would prefer to spoil granny's party than run the risk of coming a poor second in the best dressed guest contest.
