Lunch with the Mayor

**GMan** · 10th January 06, 07:39 PM

Yes I had lunch with the Mayor today. Well OK me and about 498 other people, but hey I did have lunch with him.

It is part of his initiative to end homelessness here in Denver within 10 years. He asked several groups, churches, neighborhood groups, and civic organizations to become involved and mentor those who are homeless into places of residences.

OK with all that attention and media present, one would think that some guy wearing a kilt would stand out. Nothing, NADA, Zilch. Of course I did sort of lay low and stood around many people so maybe that prevented many from seeing me, but alas it was not seen. I guess it proved to me that wearing a kilt, one can blend in and not stand out. It is a regular garment.

Well, there are a few things that can overshadow a kilt Glen ;) of course, you are quite dashing as we already know and considering how comfortable you are wearing kilts people might not have taken particular notice since your behavior is not of one crying out for attention.

...... yes but in and amongst all the kilts on display there Glen, you know what unequivocally stands out? Glen's devotion to his fellow man and those in need.

This Kentuckian bows to his Colorad-did-ness!

Glen, I had no idea you were among the homeless, and with a computer no less.

lcjones, where in Kentucky?

It’s my impression that kilts get attention on slow news days. Several weeks ago it was such a slow news day in Spokane that braking news was about a turkey shot by an arrow! I’m sure it is as Rob says, but some how I’m happy that you in a kilt was not deemed news worthy.

Glen... Glen... Glen... You passed on a perfect photo opp... with the Mayor no less?

Tsssk tsssk - And with the likes of us after you post a photo once in a while ... For shame... ;-)

This Missourian bows as well, Glen. I'm a pretty easy going guy, but the fact that we have people in this wealthy country that are homeless, children going to sleep hungry at night, and people that cannot get adequate medical coverage - these are things that really push my hot buttons!

You honored all of us that wear the kilt by your presence.
