I’m not intending to use this app/site/network/whatever for posting a lot of self-portraits, but I figure I might as well include a larger photo than my profile picture of myself here.

This photo is fairly representative of me in a number of ways. I’m wearing a kilt because that’s something I do on a daily basis. It’s a Utilikilt because that’s the kind of kilt I’ve worn more than any other over the last twenty-five years, though in the last five years I’ve worn traditional kilts more. I’m wearing boots and a vest from L.L. Bean because it’s a brand than means east coast heritage and quality to me. I’m wearing a Pendleton shirt because it says the same with a west coast connection. A wool hat from Ireland speaks to my heritage. And finally, a scarf calls out my support of Wrexham AFC.
