"Thank you for wearing a kilt"

The only time she gets mad is when her friends come to the house and want to talk to me about old rock bands!!

Isn't that normal.
Great picks and did your brother-in -law get a kilt yet?

Thanks all. No word on the B-I-L, I expect that will be a long term project.

Best regards,

While finishing up my Christmas shopping a couple weeks ago I was in a store and was approached by a saleswoman who complimented my Fraser Hunting kilt and said her husband has one but doesn't wear it nearly enough because of the cost. I agreed that they can be expensive but that there are several companies making more cost effective kilts for daily wear and gave her a couple of names. While she was very nice and actually knew a bit about Scots culture I attribute it mostly to "making a sale". The great part of this story is that while at the counter checking out, a guy next to me hears the saleswoman say "Mr. Fraser" and he says, "How do you spell your name?" I tell him and he says, he's a Fraser also. How 'bout that.

We spoke a bit about where our families were from and swapped a few names that didn't match up for a link, but it was still a neat coincidence. He complimented my kilt as well and went on his way.

An exchange like that is worth all the stares and whispers by others in the mall.
