NOT ticked off!

[BEEDEE]

Yep! I had a good day today as well. Nothing spectacular, just an all round good day.

I'll add my good kilt day story. Wed evening my wife and I decided to go out for dinner at the local Irish pub to check out the seisiun. We ended up sitting at the bar near the entrance in order to be near the group. Being kilted is new to me, so I'm still getting used to it.

The seisiun leader came over to talk with me, noticing that I was in my kilt. I also had a lady inquire about my clan. That's when I learned not to complicate it by explaining the small stuff, like Clark isn't a clan. It really didn't matter to her.

The best one was a guy who came in the door and said, "Wow, is that a kilt that you're wearing?" Then he went on to say, "Up in Page where I live, we don't see kilts!" Keep in mind that Page, AZ is where Riverkilt makes his home. It's amazing that someone could live in Page and not run into Riverkilt sooner or later. He really was interested in knowing more. I told him to look Ron up and tell him that Spartan said to say hello!.

Excellent! My wife and I went to dinner tonight, and I got bugged by a team of high school cheer leaders who came in shortly after us. And then there was the waitress, who just loved it and took as many chances to talk to us as she could. Ah, to be kilted in high school... What a shame I didn't have the guts to wear it back then. I reserved my kilt for special occasions before I started taking Effitall. I wonder if that is a prescription drug...

I had a great day as well. I got a new kilt in the mail.

My son Ben (14) has received permission from the principal at his junior high to wear the kilt and tape a documentary about how people react to it, as a class project in film making. He is in the 8th grade. I am very proud of him. I may have to spring for a real kilt instead of the one I threw together for him. It's not bad, mind you, but he's growing so fast I doubt it fits any more.

I wouldn't even wear short pants until I was 30. I'd never have had the courage to wear a kilt in high school. It is good I did not then know the things I know now.

More positive stuff like this ! There is much negativity to counter in the world.

Great story Spartan,

I've been swamped at work but still wondering how to hook up with this latent kiltie in Page. Imagine some day he'll come up and introduce himself.

Maybe its time to develop a Canyonlands Celtic Club.

Good story, Spartan, you must be a magnet for good kilt conversation. I was there Thursday for lunch with an high school buddy- who is now associate pastor at St. Francis Xavier. Other than his shock- even though I had let hime know ahead of time- nobody said a word, I guess they are used to seeing me that way at Lis Doon Varna.

We need to keep frequenting the place.

Just got back from my youngest grandchild's birthday (age 8)party.

He had his entire class, there, some 24 in all!!!! Can you say pandemonium?

I went kilted at his request. Largely ignored by all the guests, but that never bothers me. Kids have a bad habit of either taking things in stride, or announcing them in loud, clear tones that can be heard blocks away. Ain't life wunnerful?

It is always a good thing to remember the good times. It is really a habit, and if we work on it enough it will last, and we start seeing things in a much better light.
