    Best Dressed Award

    I have attached a picture of myself that was taken today. As a fund raiser for my empolyeers United Way Drive, we had an indoor golf tournement. As part of the event, there was an award for "Best Dressed Golfer". So since golf is Scottish in birth, i decided to change into my kilt. You will never guess, but I WON! So Here is the picture.



    Another interesting event. I was in Walmart, and on my way out an Older African American Lady, was running up to me. I thought Ok!, here it comes. She asked what tartan did i belong to? I must have looked confused, because she than statedthat She had been looking for a piper for over a month, and could not find one, she asked if I played. I told her not yet!, she asked if i knew of a piper on very short notice. I took her name and number and passed her information off to my Pipe Major!

    You never know what will happen in Walmar

    Though one does sort of wonder what an African-American lady wanted with a piper on short notice. Things that make y'go "Hmmmm."

    Oh, I should have added she was looking for someone for an event at her church.
