    my city's newspaper article about me wearing my kilts for almost 9 months straight

    I got an article about me posted in my city's Saturday edition of the newspaper.... even on the front page of the online edition - all because I have worn my kilts always for 9 months straight.

    At first I was a little unsure about how the article turned out ... I can see now how during a babbling telephone conversation various random things get interpreted by another person. So when I first rea the article, various claims seemed a bit off from what I remember saying ;-)

    Oh well... still interesting to promote the kilt as everyday wear as opposed to some item to be taken out of the closet every now qnd then for some occasion.

    make sure you send me a message.. I can point you to the several major good small breweries ( propeller , garrison , granite brewery .... and maybe two smaller ones (parts of little restaurants that brew their own - one has some great sweet-potato fries - Rogue's Roost)

    Sounded like a pretty even handed article to me and set you in a good light. Glad your full time kilt wearing is going good!

    Heh. Same tartan as the local RC girls' school! Maybe they'll adopt you.
    Or something. Why did the reporter not edit what you said to exclude the 'or somethings'? Eesh.
    So if your number 2 kilt is 'a more generic design' than Black Watch, what is it?
