took the SWK for a test drive yesterday. (small gulp) started in a VERY small town in wisconsin, spent day in fairly large medical clinic, check-up for the beautiful bride on my arm, moved on to wal-mart and a short walk.
my wife is taking a bunch of soc and psych classes so she was watching for reactions. she reported, i being a typical male and just lumbering (great word, thanks kilt wilter) through the day. from the baggy seated youth, double takes followed by a calculating, cool sort of look. from those of my age cohort, alas about 30 years past the high school nuthouse, not much of any thing. from 70 yr males, what is wrong with that boy!
i picked my kids up at school and got a lot of "why are you wearing a skirt?" after i explained, AGAIN, without embarrasment, shrugs and cool was the reaction. HOWEVER, the principal with whom my spouse and i have had "dealings", wouldn't even make eye contact
can't count how many times i was asked if i played the pipes too maybe i should try
all in all a fun, comfortable day
