    New Convert

    I've telling this guy for a couple of years he needed to wear a kilt. He's here at Ft Sam Houston for a few months of training and we took him to the San Antonio Highland Games. While we were there my wife and I talked him into trying on a UK. This morning, I drove him up to Austin to Things Celtic and he bought a Tan UK, a UK T-shirt, and a belt. He was so happy he wore the UK out of the store. On the way back we stopped at a Discount Liquor store by the Outlet Mall for him to get his first outing. He did well talking to the store employees and we spent a bit of time talking to the two girls at the wine tasting area. He got his first questions about the kilt from them. If I'd had the camera I could have got a pic of him with the girls. This pic is after we got home. He's wearing it to the Riverwalk with some of his classmates this evening. Another convert to the kilt.

    YMOS,
    Tony

    Tony,

    Good for him! Now he needs one in ACU...

    Sounds great!
    I tried to ask my inner curmudgeon before posting, but he sprayed me with the garden hose…
