    Memorial Weekend Marathon

    There was a "First Annual" marathon here locally the Sunday of Memorial weekend. A group of us helped out at one of the water stations along the route.
    During the pre-race informational meeting, one of my friends mentioned that he thought I should wear a kilt that day.
    A lot of folks passed up others at our station because they wanted water from the "guy in the kilt".
    Had a great time. I'm trying to talk everyone into kilts at the station next year...

    Perhaps they were also hoping for a wee dram to go along with your water!
