Best reaction?

Okay, back in the days when I didn't even have a modern kilt yet (for whatever weird reason, I decided to start with the late 1500s and work my way forward from there), I went -- I thought -- to a Scottish event in Marin County north of San Francisco. I took along a couple of other Bujinkan instructor friends, a married couple.

Somehow I hadn't found out that the event had been canceled.

So we ended up going for brunch to a Marin restaurant, my friends in their civvies and me in my belted plaid with pampooties and dirk.

As we sat down, my friends told me "We were watching people's reactions as we walked to our table, and we could SO get you a date in this place!"

Then our waitress came, 20-something and lovely and starry-eyed and blushing, and thanking ME for blessing (her words) the establishment with my presence.

I thanked her for her kindness with a "Blessed be, and merry meet!".

We had a fantastic meal. As for the rest, well. . .
