    USA Independence Day Kilted Cookout

    We celebrated our country's birthday yesterday with a kilted cookout at my son Brian's house. Three of us were kilted. Me, Davey (dbeauchamp), and my son Brian.

    We had the traditional hamburgers and hotdogs, along with kabobs, and washed it all down with iced tea (the house wine of the South). As some of you may recall, I recently hosted the XMTS Quaich. I enjoyed that so much that I now have my own Quaich, and we christened it yesterday.

    I charged the Quaich with Old Pulteney 12 (the whisky of my clan), took a sip, and passed it around the table. It came back to my sweetie (carolinanan117), and she made sure it was empty before she gave it back to me.

    After we got home, we spent several hours playing our country's favorite guessing game -- is that fireworks or gunshots?

    Looks like a grand time was had by all. I'm envious, I had to work all day.

    Allen: What a great family outing. Thanks for sharing it with us.

    You have four strapping lads there. Son #4 looks a bit like Jase on Duck Dynasty.

    Congratulations on acquiring a quaich. Old Pulteney is one of my favorite malts, too, though I prefer the 17 to the 12 and the 21.

    Slainte!

    I changed my signature. The old one was too ridiculous.
