The Best Compliment This Week

**Nighthawk** · 14th June 09, 10:35 AM

My dad went to the hospital on Friday to talk to his doctor and scedule an appointment for a diagnostic. I drove him there and stayed while he set things up. His doctor, it turned out, was born in India, and raised in Scotland. He had the most bizarre accent I had ever heard. Anyways... He was really surprised that Colorado has a tartan, which is what I was wearing. I got a few of those unexpected comments at the hospital. I don't normally post about comments either, but there are some fun ones.

The Colorado Tartan was designed by the same person who designed the Episcopal Clergy Tartan that I wear.

I also had a couple of interesting complements the last two days. Yesterday I went to the yarn shop to pick up something for my wife. I happened to wear shorts. The owner said that she didn't recognize me with my pants on!

This morning a man in church complemented my appearance in a kilt. He admitted that it's making him think about getting a kilt. As an aside, he's a Maricopa County Superior Court Judge. I suspect that kilts would not be frowned upon in his court.

I didn't know that was designed in Colorado! I haven't seen that one. Do you have a link to pictures of it? I have a kilt made from modern Clergy/Clark, and I love it- but it's a little too busy.

As to the lack of recognition in pants thing- I had that comment made to me once!
