Kilted Kayaking and CPR

[Clockwork John]

Saturday was an interesting day. My wife and I went to Santa Barbara and rented a kayak. I wore my Black Watch, since I hate shorts. We had a blast. I need to wash, or at least rinse, the salt and sand out of it now. We walked up and down State street, and a teenager commented about my kilt, and asked where I got it. I told him I got it at the Pomona games, but referred him here to xmarks for more information and a list of vendors.

Then, on the way home, as we were driving down the freeway, I was eating a burrito, and I choked. I got a chunk of the darn thing wedged in my throat, and it would not go up or down. I stayed as calm as I could, got the car pulled over( I was driving), and my lovely and multi-talented wife gave me the heimlich manouver.

I knew there was a reason I married her.

Wow, way to stay calm!

I like kilts with kayaks for the simple reason that it's a convenient and somewhat modest way to change out of my wetsuit into campfire clothes, beach clothes, or street clothes.

Of course, we have fresh water up here, so there's no worry about a salt encrusted kilt.

Thread title scared me but I was curious. Valuable lesson there.

Of course, everybody else driving by is just going to add it to their "men in kilts and their women" stories.

Arggh, feed the legend.
