As if to better explain yesterday’s prompt about passion, the universe put me smack dab in the middle of true passion.
Team Scotland is playing their first few World Cup games in Massachusetts and the “Tartan Army” has taken over Boston.
The kilts, the bagpipes, the hats, the songs…these people embody passion.
I’m not much of a sports fan, but I do love seeing happy people.
Scotland won, the Knicks won…may the joy of others filter into the collective consciousness—so much so that we completely ignore the trashy spectacle desecrating our White House today.
FDT!

On behalf of my late Scottish father…. yay!

Nope, we asked. Blue are the home jerseys and orange are the away ones!

Football teams have two kits each season. One is the away kit which they wear when playing away from home and then they have a home kit. So the kits they are wearing here are all Scotland kits 😊

Not into sports either but it’s fun to see the enthusiasm of the fans. Especially that tartan army.

Amen. And how delightful are they!! Here slightly north of Seattle one would hardly know there is all kinds of hoopla just 30 minutes away. 🙂

Scotland really brought the fun to us. Unbelievable devotion…and so so many kilts…and songs. They get a whole stadium to sing Loch Lomond!

Fantastic. 🙂 That’s one interesting thing about living here. Lots more men walking around in kilts on the regular.

Apparently the Scots, who are quite famous here for drinking, have already caused some of your pubs to run out of beer!

Yes, but the Bostonians love them! According to my son, the bars have never been so fun—even the Boston Irish bars love the TartanArmy.
