I'll be there Saturday, driving in from California for the day.

One thing I'm especially interested to see is the Isle of Skye Pipe Band. It's rare, as you might imagine, for bands in the UK to make such a long journey.

It's unfortunate that the organisers have chosen to have their Games occur during Baseball Spring Training.

This is the busiest time of year in the Phoenix area with nearly two million fans from all over the USA pouring into town, sometimes staying a week or more. Thus accommodation is hard to find, and hotels are charging double or triple their normal rates.

I'll be looking more or less like this, if you spot me please come up and say "hi".

I'll gladly buy a round of beer, if you imbibe.
