Retirement party

[Blu (Ontario)]

Stay with the program... we've all had a few bruises along the way. For the price of a good eyepiece you could get yourself a custom R-Kilt with the big honkin' pockets to hold your lenses, flashlight, and stuff.

Good advice anytime.

Have fun!

Welcome, I went to your website and unfortunately your photos are no longer present. I used to work at Canada-France Obs. on Mauna Kea, HI (college Freshman). There Are a number of personnal observatories here in Arizona. One is just down the street in Hereford near Sierra Vista. We have a better climate than Phoenix or Tucson anyway. Also we're closer to the heavens than they are with much less light pollution. You may want to check with the University of AZ, South or Cochise community college for job openings. I'm a transplanted northerner of 17 years now in AZ. O'Neille

Like the old Irish toast:

Here's to those that wish us well,
those that don't, can go to hell!!

Wear it with pride!

Gee....if the party is given in your honor I would think you could wear what you want as long as it's in good taste. It sounds to me as though you were quite nicely dressed!

Congratulations on your retirement! Don't worry, be happy - wear what you want - no explainations are necessary.

Oh yeah, welcome to the rabble!

As usual I agree with Phil. The older I get (I'm 60) the more I'm sure that wearing what one wishes is a freedom worth exercising. Here's some words from the Braveheart web sit: Braveheart. This approach involves wearing kilts and other male unbifurcated garments (MUGs) as ordinary, everyday attire, for reasons of freedom, comfort, and compatibility with male anatomy. Bravehearts do not desire the freedom to dress in women's clothing, nor are they concerned with abolishing gender distinctions in clothing. They strive to maintain a clearly masculine image. Strict Bravehearts prefer unbifurcated garments that are specifically designed for men and avoid clothing that is intended for females. Their goal is to open men's fashion to kilts and other MUGs, so that men will be free to wear these garments everywhere, all the time, and not just for special events.
As others have stated you would get a very different result from this forum
