My son went to school today in his Gordon kilt !

[Howard Clark]

I spotted that my son's online avatar was wearing a virtual kilt, but he shows no inclination to wear one in real life.

Perhaps all he needs is encouragement ? My kids both got a big kick out of the "Dressed to Kilt" fashion show that was broadcast on FOX just a couple of days ago. I never expected to be ahead of the curve in fashion, but we ARE, gentlemen !

The vice principal even came to say hello to us at the parent teacher conference. So the administration has no problem with it. His counselor was my sophomore English teacher, many years ago. There are at least two rather talented athletes in the high school that wear kilts, and more young men have asked Ben about where to get one than I ever imagined would. We refer people here, of course.

I guess I enjoy a bit of celebrity because of what I do for a living. My kids have been asked about it all their school lives. When they say "he makes swords for a living", many ask rather incredulously, "really"? We have deep roots in the school district as well. My older brother was in the first graduating class of the newly consolidated district in 1966. My Mom served on the school board, and I have been personally acquainted with all but one superintendent the district has had since it's formation. There are few on staff who have personal experience with me (fortunate for my sons).
