    Talking What's next? An NBA tartan?

    The Houston Rockets' Tracy McGrady was seen wearing a kilt at the Highland Games in Scotland, throwing sheep no less, on a Vitamin Water commercial on ESPN. My husband, being a huge McGrady fan, spewed soda all over the TV and ran to get his kilt! Now, he has more incentive to wear it out in public, afterall, his hero wore the kilt in front of millions.

    That was a funny ad, although if you did throw a sheep like that you'd probably hurt yourself . . .

    Thanks for the link. Some of my less-informed high school students have been giving me grief about the kilt (good-humored ridicule). They remember that I wore one to the prom last year and this year's prom is Saturday). They had already seen this video on TV and had forgotten that one of their "heroes" was kilted. This launched a very productive discussion about cultural sensitivity and diversity....good stuff. And they promised to can the comments.
    Thanks again.

    That was quite funny!
    "A veteran, whether active duty, retired, national guard or reserve, is someone who, at one point in his life, wrote a blank check made payable to "The United States of America", for an amount of "up to and including my life." That is honor, and there are way too many people in this country who no longer understand it." anon
