I had one of those weekends that confirmed over and over again the wisdom of wearing a kilt.

Saturday I went out shopping, kilted of course. While waiting for my turn in the checkout line, a very attractive young woman of maybe 16 came up to me and said "Dude, you just rock in that kilt". She then turned to her boyfriend who was in front of me in line, kicked him in the rear, and said "You need to get one of those!" I'm about to turn 48, so being noticed by a young woman, while a little creepy, was rather invigorating. The boyfriend looked like he swallowed a frog.

Today I went on a hike in Sabino Canyon with my friend and his girlfriend. I met them at a local restaurant where we have a coffee and plan the final details of our hike. When she saw me she turned to my friend and said, "You didn't tell me he would be wearing a kilt. I love men in kilts. When are you going to get one." She said she used to belong to the SCA, Society of Creative Acronyms, and used to love going over to ogle the men in kilts. On our hike at least 5 different woman commented on the kilt, all positive, 3 different men asked me about the kilt. When I told one of them that it's the only way to hike as air can reach all the important parts( it was 80 deg F today in Tucson) he turned to his wife and said "I have to get one of those" to which she replied, "Well it's about time".

And on the way home I stopped for some groceries. The woman behind me in the check out line asked me "Did you have as much fun today as it looks like you did?" We talked for a bit. She was of Scottish heritage and just loves men in kilts.

All in all in it was quite a pleasant day. I think I will continue to wear my kilts.
Like that needs to be said.

Kilt on everyone
