    A present ...

    A while ago I was given a 'hoody' top as a present by the students Elaine works with at the university. I am not a 'hoody' person and I have not worn it out and about, but I thought I'd better wear it today because I might be meeting a few of them. They even had it embroided for me ...

    I am not a hoodie guy either, but that is great, nice of them to personalize it for you, Cilted Crusader.

    What a nice gesture...embroided and all

    I'm also not a hoody person, but it looks really nice (just don't use the hood) and I love the colour.

    Wear it!

    Very nifty! Yes, the color is very nice and the customized embroidery is terrific. It does go marvelously with the tartan

    What a thoughtful gift!

    "Cilted Crusader" I like that. The kids at the collage thought that one out in order to make it a very personal gift.

    Nice hoodie. (I hate that term, hoodie! It sounds . . . I don't know what it sounds like, but I don't like it.)

    I, too, would not wear one under most circustances, but yours is very nice, and the kids did well in honoring you. I'd wear it just like you . . . and keep the hood down. Otherwise, I fear I would look like the guy knocking over the convenience store on the news.

    I'd wear it even if I didn't like it. Just because the warm fuzzy thoughts about the random act of kindness would keep out the cold.
