    Kilts at Stanford

    As many of you know, I've been going to work kilted 2-3 days a week for quite a few months, now. Well, a couple of weeks ago one of the guys over in the Humanities Center discovered Utilikilts, and bought a couple. HIS friend, whom I also know well, is also interested. His wife is making him one and he's just sprung for a Stillwater Black Watch.

    We're getting together for coffee at the coffee kiosk I keep writing about, roughly once a week to just shoot the breeze and yakk about kilts. Honestly, I think when the local guys notice a few of their brothers being kilted, and it's more than just one fruitcake (me) at the coffee shop or fixing computers, this might gather some momentum.

    There's another kilt wearer on campus, but he's clear over on the other side, which is a 25 minute walk away. We might have to invite him over, though.

    Aye, one would think common sense would emerge at such a scholarly university.

    Your Stanford basketball center, Matt Haryasz is from Page, Arizona too, though don't know if he'd know there's an old kilted geezer back home.

    I served a couple years on the board of directors for the local hospital, Page Hospital, that his mother is CEO of.

    Would be a LOOOOOONG kilt for that young man though.

    Kilts and coffee, a wonderful experience to spread the joy of kilting. Glad that you shared that with us Alan.
