Don't know your age, economic situation, length of marriage...but a man's a man for all that! At some point in life we quit worrying what ANYONE else thinks or feels about the important things in life that allow us to become who we are and THEN the soul is set free to live. Esse Quam Videri..to BE rather than to seem. I spent a lifetime in blue pinstripe suits, the pursuit of more, and doing the right thing. NOW it's my turn. A life is a terrible thing to waste trying.

I have been 'booted and suited' for 12 unhappy days She said, after many days and much cold shouldering, that I looked like her granny when I wore my latest kilt In all honesty it was a very purple tartan, 'Heritage of Scotland', and there's a totally different tale that goes with the purchase of it, so I binned it, and have decided that perhaps in the name of compromise, plain colours are more suited to me and my wife's eyes
But, last night I thought, ********!, and donned my plain black kilt, black hose, royal blue flashes, black boots,shirt and a waistcoat, and felt like a million dollars I'm sat here in pretty much the same garb tonight, and as for the disapproving glances from a certain person, I know that the kilt is as much a part of my life as breathing. So, any suggestions how to cheaply 'beef' up the outfit, as my missus thinks the only place a kilt should be seen is on the groom at a genuine Scottish wedding!
