My company does not give Columbus Day as a holiday, however, my division is almost all government consultants, and we can bill the government for hours on a government holiday. Therefore, my division has a picnic. I normally do not wear the kilt at work, I am required to wear suit (NOT sport coat a SUIT). So I decided to wear my Stillwater thrifty USMC kilt, full up with kilt hose etc. I didn't want to wear an expensive kilt, because there were athletic competitions. I claimed the kilt was psychological warfare for the tug-of-war competition between departments. It worked, me team slaughtered them! I think someone got pictures and I will post them when I get them. Lots of good comments and a number of good looking younger lady consultants were giving me the eye. Michele (my wife) had a very smug expression on her face.
