    Don't worry guys, I wore him out so he will be too tired to post, and when he does it will be few and far between. I gave him the mysterious Rocky Mountain Slow Finger Disease. The good thing is that it goes so well with green tights.

    Welcome to the US, Graham. and I always thought it was you guys who drove on the wrong side of the road. Wish you were coming our way, (Virginia and the Carolinas), but then, it is hot here, and if the humidity was any higher you could see the water in the air.

    So... Graham's hopped over into our hemisphere?

    I thought I felt a disturbance in the force.

    Who's gonna tell him to make sure and hit San Francisco and Cape Cod in the kilt?

    Graham

    Welcome to the US, Denver is such a great town (area). Its hard to recommend anything to see or do, there is so much there. I have friends in Golden and your posts now make me realize that is has been a while since I was out to see them, and never kilted. It might just be time to take a road trip.

    Jerry,

    When I met with Graham and Leslie, we ended up going to my car and I opened the doors on the left side (drivers) and Leslie went into the back seat and Graham started to get in behind the wheel, before he realized that it was where the steering wheel was. He also felt happy when I was driving in the left lanes.

    You should come on out here Jack! I did introduce Graham and Leslie to a friend of mine who teaches at the School of Mines in Golden, so kilts are old hat to everyone, you will be just as normal as I am (no comment Graham, I am trying to up my posts at your expense LOL)

    Graham, I'm glad you found your way to our side of the Equator. Yes, our airports and Immigration can be a bother but I hope the rest of your trip goes smoothly. I'm curious about your experiences with airport security, I can't get through security very well. It's not that their rude or anything, it's just that I always get searched and it's such a nuisance.

    Thanks for all the kind words lads, we had a great time with Glen, he is as much a gentleman in real life as he is on the forum. He even talked me into drinking coffee!! (can't get decent tea here anyway)

    The reaction to the kilt at the convention has been mostly positive. One preacher even telling me that he has preached in a kilt before.
    Some think I am strange but I'm just dressing casual (no need for ties yet) as everyone is here (except some leaders).

    I've felt very comfy in a kilt here

    The Convention is at the Marriott, and they have a slow slow connection here.

    We leave here next Tuesday for Scotland, I'm really looking forward to that.
    more soon

    Graham called me a gentleman (blush blush). Thank You.

    For your information Graham both Jeremiah and Matt stopped in at the coffee shop (they both had the day off) when they knew that I was there, and said that they enjoyed meeting you and Leslie. Now the ladies were jealous that the guys got to meet you instead of them. You have left your imprint at the coffee shop.
