You're absolutely right, though, if you're anywhere 5 to 10 miles inland in San Diego this week, the kilt is the right garment to wear. Good for you on trying it his way and wearing jeans; too bad he didn't let it rest.

Perhaps your uncle is so uncomfortable being in the hospital he's just focusing on something else to take his mind off it. That doesn't make it any more pleasant for you.

I live inland and I spent all day yesterday kilted...and will do so again today.

Hope your uncle continues to mend.
