    Oh, those embarrassing moments

    I've had problems with my back for a number of years, and will probably be having a third spinal surgery in the near future. In the mean time I'm going through 4 weeks of physical therapy to try to reduce the level of pain. I wear a kilt as my daily attire, but I take a pair of shorts with me to therapy because some of the stuff I have to do would be revealing.

    So, when I get to therapy, I go into one of the rooms off the main floor and change into shorts. Well, for some reason today, my mind was wondering. I took off my belt, sporran, and kilt, grabbed my cane, opened the door, and took a step out of the room to the main floor. There was a women on an exercise machine no more than 10 feet directly in front of me. See looked at me, brought her hands up to her mouth and began to laugh really loud. Fortunately, I was not regimental, but I was standing there in my polo shirt, shoes, kilt hose, flashes and my UNDERWEAR !!

    I found out that I can really move much faster with my cane than I thought, as I retreated to the room, closed the door and put on my shorts. The lady was still laughing with tears in her eyes when I came out of the room. Actually several people were laughing. She told me that I made her day.

    I turned 62 last month. Lord help me when I turn 63!!

    Had you spaced the briefs she would have had her week made! When ever these kinds of things happen I recall the instruction of a Drama instructor; Head high, shoulders back and act like you meant it!

    I can just imagine doing the same. Lord help me, but I'm a bit older than you and I am just dreading the day when something like this happens to me, too -- except for one fine and awfully important detail. You lot will be the first to know. Well...maybe just after the full surgery waiting room.
