Fun kilted outing

[Archangel]

Went to my wife's work Christmas supper/dance. Spent most of the day looking for a solid bottle green tie, finally found one at a thrift shop.

Got a lot of nice compliments, one skirt comment but that was a friend and it was quiet. Had a bit of a scare when some lady grabbed the apron and held it up a bit but she was just saying she really loves this: another friend of my wife.

Anyway, we ate, we danced and then went out to the car in a -3°C (26.6°F) flurry, not bad. Car seat were cold, though, ha.

Kilted snow shoveling (SWK Irish National and my $10 Argylle from the band closet) after a church party last night! I tried to shovel away the effects of a snow storm that occurred during the party so that nobody would hurt themselves. AND...I didn't even get cold (though I DID have to use my asthma inhaler afterward!).

My Farquarson had its debut last night. My wife & I went to a local performance of Messiah. Over the years I have acquired recordings of eight distinct performances by different orchestras but had never before attended a live performance and had never suspected what I was missing. Last night's performance was brilliant.

The audience reaction to my kilt was quite gratifying. Before the performance we got only two raised eyebrows and smiles, but during the intermission we got seven compliments from ladies and two from gentlemen. After the performance, five more from ladies.

Apparently a kilt is even more of a babe magnet than a puppy is---and kilts don't piddle.
