Greetings, Here are a couple of pictures of me doing what I do. On the left, I'm arena director and on the right a dancer at area pow-wows. I enjoy boxing training, weight lifting, collecting both firearms and edged weapons, I'm a voracious reader, history buff, and I like to hunt and fish. Especially fly fishing for bluegill, crappie or bass. I shave with straight razors that I have restored and honed and I like to tie my own bow ties to wear with my kilt to my Masonic Lodge, Berea Lodge, #617. I was a little bashful about wearing my kilt out and about, but after the first couple of times, I realized I wasn't going to have to defend myself to the last extremity, and began to relax and enjoy it. (It doesn't hurt to be 6' 5" tall and circa 240 pounds). A friend of my wife's called it a skirt, but after he noticed the alarming speed with which my steel toed boot was wending its way towards his aft end, he reconsidered his position on the proper nomenclature. I look forward to learning a lot from all of you.

Greetings Powwowdancer and welcome to X Marks. Can we call you Pow? Perhaps, after we see a picture of you in your kilt, we could call you 'Wow'. (Just kidding, of course.)

I've heard the skirt thing many times myself but, I've learned to ignore it. Comments like that displays their ignorance, not yours. We're glad you decided to become a member of the kilted rabble and you'll certainly learn a lot from being a part of this community.

powwowdancer, it sounds like we could learn a bit from you about teaching "proper nomenclature." Welcome to xmarks.
