    I suppose "endurance shopping" is an intense form of Retail Therapy :-)

    One of my favorite things to do when down in the big cities with the malls is to stop at a mall and have my lady walk behind me about 30 or 40 feet so she can watch the double takes from folks after I pass them. Always cracks her up.

    I visited my mother last week and she did the same. She was surprised how neutrally people reacted to the kilt. Most people watched twice looking like "What the he... oh, a kilt!" and young girls (really, younger than me!) ;) started laughing like they always do but no negative reactions. And when we went eating I think that the cute looking waitress smiled a little more than she normally would have.

    It was the first time she saw me in kilt by the way.
