    A Surprise

    Hell-o all,

    I have been going to the same coffee shop for years (14 to be exact) and of course I really do like it. In fact when I moved it had to be within a certain distance.

    Well today I walked in and one of the baristas was wearing a Kilt! It was a Utilikilt and he did say that I had inspired him to get one. He was really liking the feel of it so another one has experienced the joy of Kilting.

    Good man, GMan! One more joins the "club".
    I changed my signature. The old one was too ridiculous.

    Way to go! Kilt addiction - and COMMON SENSE seem to be contagious.

    Good job! As we wear kilts around town it gets others thinking that they to can do that too. Seeing someone else in a kilt gives them some incentive.

    I go to lunch at the same sports bar about once a week. I always wear the kilt. One of the managers came up to me and asked about my kilt. Apparently his wife is looking to get him a kilt. I would have liked to talk to him more about it but work got in the way and he had to tend to something in the kitchen. I am sure we will get a chance to talk again.
