Today’s kilted adventures

[revdpatience]

Over on Facebook I shared the photo above and said I’d spend as much time as I could this week kilted in the run-up to St. Paddy’s Day.

Well, yesterday running errands with Lovely Wife I ended up in conversation with a clerk whose best friend had been married in Scotland. She got a bit misty-eyed remembering that beautiful trip.

Today, I wore the kilt for meetings with not one, but two bishops. In between I also stopped in at my church office, where a Vestry member teased me about wearing the kilt on such a cold day (but was also delighted to hear I’d be kilted for Friday’s Fish Fry dinner, one of our weekly Lenten fundraisers).



After lunch with the second bishop at a coffee shop in Green Bay, a man came up to introduce himself as we were leaving. He is from Glasgow, and parked next to my car with its “Got Kilt?” sticker. “When I saw you walk by my table,” he said, “I just had to say hello!” He works in the recovery field here in the area, a field near to my heart, so we traded contact information.

Now I’m just at home reflecting on a very productive kilted day out.
How’s your day going?

Another coffee shop meeting this morning, and now just doing some work at my parish office as we get ready for Holy Week.

Lovat blue hose today for a change of pace.

Kilt Run this afternoon, decided to go to work kilted. I was surprised that the ladies loved it.

Went out to FedExOffice and OfficeMax this morning, then going for a haircut this afternoon at the barbershop whose proprietor is often in a utility kilt. They're running a "Blow Out and Bloody Hangover Cure" promotion on Sunday to follow up on St. Patrick's Day, so he may be in a kilt today, too.

After that, it's over to my parish for our Friday Fish Fry and a service of Stations of the Cross this evening.

Tomorrow we'll have a house full of guests for St. Paddy's Day dinner -- corned beef and cabbage and various other goodies.
