Thanks for the school story Graham.

I'm off to the local high school today to do a presentation on how drugs and alcohol kill us (the mechanics of sudden death)to three classes of "bad" kids. Then off to the next town over to do the same thing for some "good" kids.

Considered wearing a kilt, but have decided against it for the same reason I haven't worn one to work (as a therapist). I believe it would be too distracting from the issue at hand, whether my presentation or my client's issues.

What I am doing is going kilted about town ALL the time on my own time, particularly on weekends. Being a small town of 7000, 140 miles from the nearest city, in the Arizona canyonlands I'm still the only kilted one about. No negative comments yet, a few cutting remarks and teases, but mostly acceptance and positive comments so far.

I'm guessing that once the locals are more used to me in a kilt wearing it to work may be a reality.

So, thanks for giving me hope and a role model.
