Sorry I've been away for so long, my friends. I have recently returned from a trip to New York City. I was simply on vacation, visiting my friend Scott, who works in the photography business, thus he takes lots of pictures. There's a few new pics of me in my gallery, wearing my survival kilt (which is probably my favorite kilt so far). I had this preconceived notion that New Yorkers had seen everything, that they probably wouldn't even cast a sideways glance at a man in a kilt, but I was proved wrong. I wore a kilt constantly, and got looks from thousands of people every day. On rare occassions, someone would work up the courage to begin a conversation with me, but for the most part I was left alone.
I really wish I could remember the name of the Irish pub I visited in New Hyde Park. It was a really tiny place that couldn't fit more than a dozen people. I walked in to find about 6 or 7 guys who seemed like they had been regulars at this bar for the past 40 years. They immediately struck up conversation with me and started buying me drinks. By the time I left, they all shook my hand and told me to come back again. Friendly place.
I was looking at your pics, and can honestly say that's the first time I've seen a bowtie with a utilikilt!
