    My most creative "kilt check" came on the flight over to Maui. A very attractive young flight attendant with a name tag that read Lelani stopped to help a child in the aisle seat in front of my aisle seat. I'm flying kilted.

    Lelani squated down to child level to talk to the child. But, in fact she was now down at my waist level and looking up my kilt. She got this bright look in her eyes then swiveled a bit to allow me to see that she was a true Scotswoman.

    I nearly swooned. She was all smile, or more "gotcha" smirk, but all tease because she was half my daughter's age and my lady was next to me in the window seat. No come on, just sort of a "me too" salute.

    As blantant as her behavior was I'm sure it was rooted in the desire to kilt check me. No clue how many other flight attendents were in on her inspection tour but later in the flight when I walked back to where they were clustered they did a fine job of ignoring me and the kilt. Suppose she/they were just protecting their jobs.

    Now, to me that's at least a "fair" way to kilt check...tit for tat..you show me...I'll show you...except there were no words spoken.

    Life is good.

    No...this was not my imagination, an accident, dream, or olde man's fantasy...really did happen. Her eyes and her smile/smirk were the confirmation. The high altitude sunlight made for clear viewing.

    Hope I've been appropriate with the recount of it all.

    Ron, you should be deeply offended. I for one would have just walked off of that flight! Actually I couldn't, the doors won't open in flight, OK who's kidding who? If that happened to me I'd of died from shock!

    I believe you. We old men can have more than dreams. It does only seem fair. What's good for the goose is good for the gander and all that.
