    Our influence

    To my fellow kilted lads and a few lassies,

    I was struck this day by a revelation that I must share with you all. I was having lunch with a friend (who lives here in Denver) today, her grandchildren, and one of her daughters who were from Perth, Australia. As we were talking her daughter mentioned about six months earlier they were visiting friends in Northwest Tasmania (you awake yet Graham) and as they were driving around they saw this guy doing something to a sign (you really better be awake Graham), all kilted. I asked if they stopped and talked to him but they said no and that they went on about their business. I mentioned to her that the guys name is Graham (sorry I didn't mention the green tights Graham), and that he posts at the same place I post at, and that he should be more than happy to talk to them.

    Unfortunately they said that their friends moved to Sydney and that they may not be going back, but she did say that she might just want to go back and talk to another kilted guy. And no Graham I didn't warn them about you so if they do stop and talk to you, please be on your best behavior.

    what a small world it is Glen!! now I wonder who that guy in a kilt was!!

    If your friend wants to email me I would be glad to speak to them.

    For a moment I thought you were going to say you caught up with our church president, he is working in Denver now, I stayed with him in Houston. He and his family were here a few months ago.

    thanks for telling me that Glen!

    Is that a fat joke!?! Because it's a good one if that's what you meant.

    I'm just going to assume you meant because I'm so full of wisdom that there's no way I could have been a wee bairn.
