    Date Night

    My wife and I went out for a date last Saturday night with me in my Marine tartan kilt. We ate at a very nice restaurant in downtown Bethesda, Maryland, a fairly trendy location. It was a beautiful evening, and we decided to take a walk after dinner. Got a lot of admiring looks (well only to be expected, my Lady is beautiful ). At one of the many sidewalk cafes, the hostess stopped me and said "I have to ask - Why the kilt?" I replied "Why not!" A wonderful evening, altogether. If you haven't tried strutting out in your kilt with a lovely lady on your arm, I strongly suggest you do so.

    Sounds like a great evening. And I'm sure some of the admiring glances were for you and not your lovely wife.
