    Comments at the Saturday Market

    I took a stroll through our local craft, food and music market today wearing my camo X-Kilt. I ran across a gent wearing a purple tartan SportKilt. He stopped me and asked me where I got my kilt and I told him I made it and gave hime the web address of XMarks. Seems he owns a USA Kilt and possibly an Ameriklit too. Anyhow, I hope he shows up here.

    I was leaning against a post watching some jugglers and listening to some free speech rap when a when a woman apporached me and said, "Excuse me. My friend said to approach you..." I was ready for her to ask about my kilt, but no. She said, "My friend (pointing to another gentleman) said I should ask you because you seem like the most confident one here, can you tell me where Umpqua Bank is. I parked my car there and can't seem to find it." After a slight pause, I told her how to get there.

    It's true, ladies and gents, and it shows.

    The power of the kilt is real!

    I've not been approached like that for a while.... but it is pretty neat when it happens.

    I wore my kilt to lodge one night and one of the older lodge members said, "you are a better man than I for wearing a kilt". This is a man that over the years in lodge I have grown to respect very much. He is such a confident speaker and has a set of pipes that any tv personality would kill for. And he tells me that I am the better man. WooHoo. what a night.

    Alas, I offered, but she was off looking for her son first.

    That's by far the best story I've heard about confidence showing. Thanks
