My first outting

**pbpersson** · 23rd August 06, 05:40 PM

I have worn my kilt in public quite a lot. I have to say that sitting is no big deal now. I even had lunch at the mall on Sunday in the food court.

Regarding being shocked by seeing a guy in public wearing a kilt, I have to say it is still a shocking sight. Fortunately, thus far when I'm shocked it has been when I'm in a store and I step in front of a full-length mirror. I think "What in the world is.....oh, that's me....hi, me!"

I still don't have the entire bathroom thing figured out. All the times during my long road trip when I had to stop I would always use the stall because I have no idea what I'm doing.

Lift the apron, go, and make sure you're dry before you drop the apron back down. Easy as pie

First of all, Ialtog, allow me to add my 'welcome' to X Marks, and my congratulations on ,what appears to have been, a great 'first time' for you. Keep up the good work as often as possible and, before you know it, you won't even think about how to do this or that whilst kilting - it'll all be second nature.

Now I am embarrassed! I thank you for passing on the "Hi!" message from Jude, but I had to think long and hard who 'Jude' might be. It just came to me: this must be Jude McKenzie, through whom I bought a copy of the 2005 'Kilts Up' calendar. Please be kind enough to say "Hi!" back to him, and tell him that I'll be ordering the 2007 version shortly. Do you know when it is to be published?
