Retirement party

[O'Neille]

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!

[pbpersson]

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!

[pdcorlis]

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

IF YOU enjoyed wearing it, and you didn't do something obscene, then %^#$))(*^ all what anyboedy else thinks!

Just a little precision

The poll I conducted on my other website was the reaction of unknown visitors and not necessarly the one of the my ex-working companions.

Generaly speaking the general public reaction is quite positive except for the classic question which I have a snappy answer :

"It's 10$ if you want to see it".

You can and should do what you feel like doing. As long as you didn't hurt anyone else, then you really should't care about what others think. If you had all of us (Kitted Rabble) at the party then everyone who wasn't kilted would feel different...

Be yourself....what's your mtto???
