    You mean like this Alan?.......( sorry, I couldn't resist, cause this was such a great photo from Portland Highland Games this year!). What a classic photo!

    Ahhhhh yes, the famed "Skipping Scot with Ball and Chain" event, always a crowd favorite!!

    I am sure we will see Alan on the podium again this year (I swear the ol' galoot seems to be up there every year). Hopefully we will get some decent photos to post. Unfortunately, Pleasanton is not the best venue for spectators, as it is too far away from the events, but it is what it is and we'll do our best.

    Well, the last two years anyway... we'll see about this year. I've got a chance in the caber championships. We've been throwing a lot of caber in practice, and next week I will have 5 days in a row of caber practice and not much else. It had better pay off!

    There will be over 100 Macphersons present at the Pleasanton games, so keep a look out for my fellow cousins. Wish we could be there this year!
    Lots of Cunninghams also going to Pleasanton, for their tri-ennial gathering. I wish I could be there too.
