It will be a short jones, I know.

As I am wont to do, I'm talking all things kilt with my 11-year-old, and my wife doesn't look up from her knitting and asks, "What colors are your kilts?"

I explain that I'm eagerly awaiting a Macduff Red Modern from USA Kilts, which is mostly, well, red (duh). I also have a Sportkilt in a predominately gray and green Hunting universal tartan. Finally, I have an SWK standard Night Stalker (black).

"Hmm," she said, still wrapped up in her knitting. "You need something blue or green. Maybe a Black Watch?"

Who am I to argue? I went directly to the basement and ordered a SW thrifty Black Watch.

I know she wants something, but who cares? I had the green light -- you all heard it, right???
