    A friend indeed...

    Today is my last day at work. I am a family doc and I will be starting a new job in a couple of weeks. The other doctor in my office snuck out to my house and dressed up in my Muted Lamont 16 oz wool kilt. He did up the socks, flashes, sporran, kilt belt, etc. Apparently he didn't fit into my ghillies but he tried.

    He did it in honor of my leaving for a new opportunity. He is taking a lot of heat from our patients but I think he showed a lot of class (and balls).

    BTW he is about 35 pounds lighter than me. He needs safty pins to keep the thing up! Those little matchstick legs are really something behold. Although he is a Chinese American, today he is telling everyone he is Scottish.

    A friend indeed...

    On the last day of my previous job, all the women in the office dressed in tartan skirts in honour of me. Or to tease of me. Probably the latter.
