    Economic incentive? You bet!

    Okay...over the weekend I got the okay from the Chief Financial Officer to do whatever I want with that lovely economic stimulus money that those nice people in Washington are going to send me.

    So even though I haven't got the check yet, I figured that I could float it on the credit card until the generous grant arrives and since there's a time sensitive element to the whole thing...I went ahead and ordered the much lusted after eight yard Robertson Hunting Muted earlier today. The kilt maker will be at the Illinois Saint Andrew's Highland Games in mid-June, so I figured that I can pick it up there if everything goes right.

    Jonesing? Yer darn tootin'!

    Isn't it wonderful when your government supports your efforts to explore your cultural heritage?

    Unfortunately, mine has to go to pay off where I already helped stimulate the economy.

    Shhhh, you're supposed to think 'Yippee, some money'. You're not supposed to be able to figure the rest out!

    Wow,

    I look forward to seeing it. I am eagerly awaiting my Robertson Hunting Ancient, done by our own Chattancat. What mill weaves the Hunting Muted? I would love to see the colors.
