    Oh I know, I'm rather fond of the over-educated. It's a family tradition to have a nice degree and do a job you love that you don't need the degree for.

    What brought you to kilting?A friend of mine bought a couple of the very first Utilikilts. I have to admit that outwardly I gave him a hard time, but I couldn't get over how cool they looked. Eventually I took the plunge and got the fever.

    What are the reactions and feelings from your significant others and your families?My wife isn't a fan, but she tolerates it in most circumstances that I want to wear it. I reciprocate by not wearing it in a situation that I think might make her uncomfortable.

    What do you think makes you accepting of kilting, as it is certainly not the norm, nor does everyone accept it?
    I've been in Theater my whole life. Consequently, I'm not concerned about standing out in a crowd. It's hard to embarrass me. As a career law-enforcement officer, I've grown used to being denigrated and insulted about my public actions. I long ago learned to do what I was taught was right, and follow my own path. Public opinion is both fleeting and fickle. The true man doesn't not base his actions solely on public opinion. Critics are common as rats, and no one ever put up a statue to commemorate a critic.
