Today’s kilted adventures

[revdpatience]

Over on Facebook I shared the photo above and said I’d spend as much time as I could this week kilted in the run-up to St. Paddy’s Day.

Well, yesterday running errands with Lovely Wife I ended up in conversation with a clerk whose best friend had been married in Scotland. She got a bit misty-eyed remembering that beautiful trip.

Today, I wore the kilt for meetings with not one, but two bishops. In between I also stopped in at my church office, where a Vestry member teased me about wearing the kilt on such a cold day (but was also delighted to hear I’d be kilted for Friday’s Fish Fry dinner, one of our weekly Lenten fundraisers).



After lunch with the second bishop at a coffee shop in Green Bay, a man came up to introduce himself as we were leaving. He is from Glasgow, and parked next to my car with its “Got Kilt?” sticker. “When I saw you walk by my table,” he said, “I just had to say hello!” He works in the recovery field here in the area, a field near to my heart, so we traded contact information.

Now I’m just at home reflecting on a very productive kilted day out.
How’s your day going?
