Scottish Holidays & Kilt 'Excuses'

[The Q]

Remember the site kiltday.com? Every day is a kilt day.

By the way, happy Guy Fawkes day.

I celebrate Guy (Guido) Fawkes day not as to which side of the political argument of the time but that the Democratic (for the time) parliament survived. Though saying that it's bucketing down with rain outside I hear not a firework nor can I see in a couple of miles a bonfire. With the same forecast for tomorrow I suspect Saturday night will be noisy.

It is problem discussing certain aspects of the historical kilt and Scottish history, that it is very close to the politics of Scotland today.

I have one simple reason. Death is always waiting around a corner. My seemingly healthy friend Rick Rombo one weekend almost 4 years ago died of a massive heart attack. My friend Curtis Judd died 2 years ago from cancer. My daughter was nearly killed in a movie theater a couple years back. My wife barely survived her own heart attack over the summer. You wanna know what the occasion is? I'm still alive and I intend to enjoy my life while I have it, because I don't know when some random act of the universe is going to make me no longer alive. The occasion is waking up in the morning. Every single day is a special occasion. I need no other reason to celebrate.
