Kilt Me!

Nice Kilt Comment

This morning on 23rd street a woman tapped me on the shoulder to tell me she liked me outfit.  She said, "I love your outfit.  No, I really really love it.  You have the legs for it."

It's moments like that that make my day. 

21F in a kilt.

So, in honor of Robert Burns' birthday, I wore my kilt today.  It' 21F.  Which is chilly with pants on, and a bit cold with a kilt on.  I was smart enough to wear a full 8 yard heavy wool kilt, but it was still a little cold.

Normally I get some smiles and maybe a thumbs up.  When it's 21F though it was a bit more enthusiastic.  I had a DPW worker put down a bag of garbage, and start applauding.  He was laughing and screaming at me while clapping, "Yeah man!  That's what I'm talking about!  GO man GO!"

It's a good morning.

Overheard:

Teenage girl pointing at me and talking to her friends: That todally makes my life!

Stopped on the street

So, the other day I was walking with LB and I was wearing my red Utilikilt. A neighbor stopped me and asked, "Hey is that a Utilikilt?"

"It is," I replied. He went on to tell me that he had seen me on the train with it, looked at the label on the back, and looked them up on line. Now he was just trying to convince his wife that he'd look good in one.

Overheard:

I just got a thumbs up from a big burley construction worker.
