Me too Anthony,

The more I'm out the less I think about "possible" reactions.

I live in a rural red neck town of 7000. Just spent a couple hours at the local Pumpkin Festival. Lots of people, big doings.

Got two teasing comments from AA friends - nice skirt and what?? Corrected the nice skirt comment pointing out it was a kilt (he's a Navajo Viet Nam combat veteran and I'm in my AK tiger stripe). Answered the other guy (an ex convict meth head now clean and sober) with my favorite line - my balls made parole....thanks to whoever passed that on.

A cute young high school teacher (sadly married with toddlers) came up to me and said with a big smile, "Nice legs." Hey, I'm 60, I'll take that. just said thanks.

Its that old line about the worst things I ever experienced never actually happened.
