Inducting a New Kiltie

[Galician]

As another fat, old man, I can testify to women's responses. At a religious conference which I spent kilted, I was told by one woman that an elderly lady commented to her that I had the legs for wearing a kilt.

Hamner, now I'm curious to know if you're going to wear your maternal tartan...and how!

As much as I love my dear old Mom and despite my great fondness for her family, there's just no way I'll put myself in a pink and purple kilt. My little girl, on the other hand, has already requested one.

There's an interesting development to that, actually. I used TartanFerret to look up her family name and came up with an entirely different tartan that isn't bad at all. I'll probably hold off on a big money kilt for some time (and I imagine this custom kilt would cost a good bit), but that might be my first.

Next on the list is the American Heritage kilt, I think. Or possibly the USAF - I'm not certain.
