    A momentous day

    Let it be known that

    today.............

    I threw out my last pair of white kilt socks. They wore through in the heel and I'm sick of darning them.

    Yes, I still have Strings Outrageous Kilt Hose, but they're natural wool color...cream, not white. Still, every other pair of knee-length socks that I regularly wear with a kilt are now colored...oatmeal, charcoal, lovat green.

    But all is not lost. Aye, I still have three pair of athletic soccer sox that I wear with my kilts!..yes, in bottle green, navy blue and bright red!

    Congrats! I have gotten rid of most of mine, but I've saved my last pair so I can use them with my lederhosen, so I don't even consider them kilt hose anymore.

    Alan, say it ain't so! Are you pulling our legs? Is it April Fool's Day?

    I still have a gleaming pair, which I will keep in case I join a band for a performance.
