    Flagged down by security

    Last Friday I was walking back to my theatre after a business meeting. My route took me past our Municipal office building. Before I reached the corner I was flagged down by their security officer, who literally ran out the door to catch me.

    No, there was no APB out for me... he was interested in my kilt. Turns out he's a Gibson on his dad's side and has two different lines on his mother's side with connection to Clan Buchanan.

    After a lenghty interrogation, he took down the X-Marks info, and I wouldn't be surprised if we hear from him before too long.

    BTW, spent the afternoon yesterday at the ballpark and got a number of inquiries about 1) the kilt and 2) my t-shirt. I was wearing my "Operation Ward 57" shirt and I hope some of those who ask might hit that site and help support its great mission. (http://www.operationward57.org/) I first learned about them on Cavscout's website (http://oconeeleatherworks.com/).

    After the game:
