    I think I made the paper

    A friend saw this in a local weekly newspaper. At the end of a column in bold letters "Another reason why I love San Francisco" followed by this: In Union Square earlier in the week I saw a white haired, heavily tattooed man wearing a kilt coming out of Macy's. Ya gotta love this city.
    Not sure he was talking about me but how many white haired, heavily tattooed kilties were in Macy's the other day? As far as I know I was the only one and probably the only one to fit that description in SF. But who knows.

    I think it is more shocking that San Franciso has a Macy's!

    Well done!!!

    In my HEMA club, when someone has a mention or a picture in the newspaper or a magazine, he has to pay a round of beers!!

    Cheers!!

    I think you should find out who the writer is and start stalking them. Accidentally, walking past his house when he comes home in the evening. Or walking past his office when he is arriving.

    After a few weeks there will be headlines "Who is that kilted man?"

    Regards
