Reflections on my one year anniversary

[Tomak]

One year ago I decided I was going to don the kilt. A kilted friend gave me two pieces and great advice; buy the kilt from USA Kilts and join X Marks. A year later I have attended five festivals and a Burn's Supper kilted. Met many wonderful people and had a grand time. In addition to that first kilt, I have added a tweed jacket and vest, a BPC and vest, a custom sporran (thanks Donnie) a cromach from ThomasH and many others incidentals. I also managed to get my son kilted and the wife now has a sash and shawl in her family tartan. My first 8 yard kilt is on order (how's that coming Rocky?) and I'm already planning my next purchase.

I would like to thank Mr. Ashton for letting us all hang out in this wonderful place. I would also like to thank everyone who has provided encouragement and advice over the past year, particularly Nathan, Grizzly, ASinclair, Chas, Mikilt, Hawk and may others. I find myself coming here more and more as time passes to find friendship, laughter and some really interesting discussions. Thank you all.
