    You Think I'm Cold????

    Hell-o all,

    As many of you know from a recent post from Scott (Kiltedfirepiper) that we had a few flakes of snow gathering on the ground the last few days.

    Also as many of you know I live close to the University of Denver and one of the first buildings they built was an observatory. It sits in a park a few blocks away from my house.

    As custom has had it for many years the neighborhood council always has a Christmas Party there. Christmas Carols, Hay rides for the kids, neighbors getting together and chatting. Star gazing (if lack of clouds permit), cider, cookies, etc. inside the observatory. So tonight was the event.

    Well it was a little brisk and I must admit my fingers were cold. Yet I was outside singing the Carols with the best of them when this late 20 something came up to me and of course asked the question of coldness. What was this chap wearing but a tee shirt and shorts, of all people thinking that I was cold? I did however thank him for his concern.

    I posted this earler to box pleats & winter.

    This evening I took a short walk with the dog in the snow and it is 7F. Had on Sorals, Poly socks, wool kilt socks and my box pleat kilt,rugby shirt,Fleese jacket,wool tam and light gloves. The only thing that was cold was my hands. I needed heavier gloves .

    People have stopped asking me if I'm cold wearing the kilt in winter. I guess the pics of me walking in the snow with the pleatds a flappin that were in the local paper answered that question

    Man, it has been cold here recently. They're saying 9F for the HIGH on Weds....Brrrr.

    That observatory park has always been a favorite of mine. Really a beautiful neighborhood there. Sounds like you had fun!
