What is under there?
Just in case anyone was wondering, I can assure you that kilts are hot, though I realize this probably seals my nerddom forevermore. But it's probably in the genes, I come from a long line of kilt-wearers. Right Roy?
My mom used to say, as Americans will about thier otherwise obscure ancestry, that her side of the family used to have a castle in Scotland, the most photographed in Scotland in fact, but there being seven brothers they had somehow given up or otherwise lost claim to it. So much for that.
She also said something to the effect that Lord Byron said of our family that they were the most wild and untamed savages upon which he had ever set eyes. (This was before I was born no less). Now Byron believing in noble savages and all, that would be a compliment. Mind you the fact that I cannot find one iota of evidence on the Internet to backup such a claim does not make this bit of family lore untrue. At least not any more than any other American ancestral lore.
(I'm supposed to be packing. I have to move at 9am tomorrow. This is a familiar situation).
