My Mom's 90th Birthday

[gordontaos]

I just returned to New Mexico from celebrating my Mom's 90th birthday in Maryland.

I flew both ways kilted, and both times I was singled out to participate in the new TSA expedited screening, (shoes on, computer remains in bag, only large metal items removed, no waiting etc.). I can only guess that just by looking at me they decided that "anyone who wears a kilt on a plane is certainly not trying to blend in" and I sped through screening.
So, perhaps yet another reason to wear a kilt!

In any event the first photo is of my Mom and I at her Senior Center on Friday. I am in my MacDuff Ancient Hunting.


Here is the happy immediate family on Saturday. My brother Glenn is on the far right. We are both in our Johnston Modern kilts.


My nephew Shawn has just returned from Afghanistan. This photo is of his first kilted experience. Based upon his wife's reaction, it may not be his last!
