People Remember Kilts
So, most every year I go to a week long conference in Tucson at Loew's Ventana Canyon Resort. For the last 8 years or so
I've worn kilts for common sense and comfort having to be seated all day.
Last year I didn't make the conference (dealing with the cancer stuff). So its been TWO YEARS since staff there has
seen me. First thing when I arrived, "Good to see you again Mr. Macdonald" Almost all the staff commented and said
something along the lines of "Welcome Back" or "I remember you" or "weren't you here before?"
Even a peer therapist came up to me at breakfast the first day and said, "You must be Ron Macdonald - what tartan is that?"
One of the volunteer conference staff said, "We missed your kilts last year."
Ain't no way ANY of that would be going on if I'd worn pants every year like the other guys....
I know kilts are "different" but I never realized they had such an impact on human memory...two years!!

"I'll have a kilt please, a nice hand sewn tartan, 16 ounce Strome. Oh, and a sporran on the side, with a strap please."
