My Kilt Encounter – An Update
I was checking my stats and noticed that several hits from the past few days have come from “xmarksthescot.com”. An unfamiliar URL. I traveled there to discover that it’s a community of kilt-wearing scotsmen. I guessed they were amused by the tale of my Trader Joe’s encounter of last month, and discovered that someone had put a link to my story in a comment thread. When I navigated back to the original comment, look what I found!

The universe works in mysterious ways.
I'm a two-and-a-half time ovarian cancer survivor who is not only determined to make it to sixty but also to look damn good while getting there. My two boys, husband, and dog are counting on me to get out of bed every day, so I might as well wear something cute and make each one COUNT. I'd love to hear from you about your odyssey - sharing makes it all easier to take. And laugh at.

Wow! That’s like the fulfillment of one of those Missed Chance advertisements at the back of the local free newspaper.
“You, wearing kilt in TJs. Me bald. You took the attention of me, and our eyes met.”
But nobody ever finds those people – except you!
🙂

Loved the update! And Ann is right…I was just thinking about the ads on Craigslist. So glad that you and Rich both enjoyed the encounter, and that he completely, totally got it.
Another day, another smile credited to you.
Thanks!

Ha!! I love that! You could make your other half wear a kilt all the time? Being as he doesn’t feel the cold anyway…;o)
