Hi folks,

I have almost completed my tuxedo tails to a Prince Charlie. The buttons, epuletts, and (whatever the patches under the sleeve buttons are called), are the last additions. The back is not shown yet, I only just got my first pictures. My daughter wanted to see my jacket so I quickly put on the kilt, shirt, bow tie, and glengarry. I forgot my sporran though.

My daughter is home from college this weekend and we are celebrating my 50th birthday. I can't believe that I am a half century old... I still feel like a kid. I plan to go to the fourth largest Irish festival in the US. It is held in Kansas City.

Cheers!
