I know I am. Have a business meeting planned too.

I just remembered I have a Black Watch silk tie as well, so I may wear that in addition on Tartan Day as well. Woo hoo! Something to chase away the 'Mondays'. Office Space reference there...

I think it's safe to press the issue!
Cheers,

Ah, but what about the new administration, I doubt that my Commander and Chief will allow me to be kilted at work Monday, let alone the 1st Infantry Division Command Sergeant Major.

I will be wearing my Colorado tartan kilt- given the fact that I live in Colorado!

If this post is also deleted, then I may need to reassess this use of my time.

Seeing as how the current chief executive is as much Irish as anything else, why wouldn't he?

Well, bummer. You guys have a cheeky wee time for me, Ok?
It's a no-go in the land of poshness. The wealthy, perhaps are still ignorant to such an article as the Kilt.

I'll don it after dark.
