Now that I have that off my chest, let me say how very nice it was to meet the folks at the Celtic Firday evening.

Especially our new friends, Alabama Celtic Lass and her husband.

Long lines seem to be normal at many larger games, and that is simply due to last-minute planning, organization, and logistics.

Thank you all so much for your hospitality! We both had a blast. Jim, we looked for you yesterday & today but missed you. I'm trying to get photos resized to attach.

Creag and Chainsaw02, it was a pleasure meeting with both of you. Sorry I couldn't hang around, visit longer and meet up with the latecomers, but pipe bands are awfully demanding of one's time. (Do I HAVE to be back at 13:30 to start tuning my pipes for our competition at 14:45? Can't it wait until, like, 14:30?

)

BTW, the Louisville Pipe Band got 5th out of 13 bands in grade 5. We're pretty happy with that.

Me in the tartan forest:

And what I was doing when I should have been at the meetup:

eta: In my defense, the dram of Buchanan Whisky was quite smooth. So much so, that even my wife who does not like the stuff enjoyed a dram as well!

I'm pretty sure I saw Wareyin at some point (hard to miss in that Buchanan tartan). Now that I've got a face I'll look out for you again next year. I did bump into this jolly gentleman today ...

Unfortunately, he thinks it would logistically impossible to get a Tesla Model S under my tree this year.

That gentleman was there on Saturday, as well! Talk about hard to miss!

Here is one of my husband Will and me in our attempt at 1740s Highland attire (except his shoes- had a technical difficulty with the period shoes).

I can't see the picture Lass.

Oh, hey - I met you guys. Walked up while you were talking to Michael. I'm sorry that I didn't introduce myself before you wandered off. Hope to see you next year, though.
