Red Hat (no, not the Unix one)

I came across The Red Hat Society Official Web Site via Metafilter. Leah and I were walking along Mission Bay two weeks ago and saw a group of women, maybe a dozen and a half, in red shirts and socializing. A picnic, and a rather nice one. Leah and I wondered what it was. Was it related to a school reunion of some kind? Who was it? I couldn’t think of a school in San Diego with red as an official color.

Now I think what I saw was The Red Hat Society. I like the idea very much. It’s for women over 50 who want to have a bit of fun and get together.

Sounds wonderful.
