Hey, GREAT story--funny, and it's awesome to see your boy having such a good time in his "great kilt".

I have to say my inspiration for even thinking about wanting a kilt came from a young guy in my university town who wears a cool utilikilt most days around town, and while he's working at the Donkey Coffeehouse, one of Athens' most famous hangouts. He was utterly unselfconscious (something I aspire to be at 2.5 times his age). The desperate urge to actually GET a kilt didn't finally hit me until a few months ago, when a bunch of little circumstances and thoughts sorta collided. And, it helps to realize all over again that I don't have to make other people happy by striving to conform to the pants-wearing hordes!

Anyhow, great story. I hail from south Kalamazoo area (my folks still live in Vicksburg in the countryside).
