I've had a number of acquaintances defend my kilt-wearing. I really appreciate it. Most people are just curious about "why" rather than actually disapproving, though.

Just the other week my grandmother called me up to say "hello". She then proceeced to tell me that she doesn't like the kilts and that I should only wear them onstage. She believes that I'm wearing them out of some kind of mis-placed Peter Pan syndrome( Supposedly I don't want to "grow up"). Even though I'm 33 years old.... Ugh..
