    Being able to name tartans is a good thing, Buying a tank in each tartan you can name is expensive. Especially mine.

    Much wiser to give up non-essentials like other clothing, restaurant meals, Starbuck's coffee, fast food, and pr0n site fees.

    Seriously, Step 11 should be moved ahead of Step 1 so you'll know how to do the present Steps 1-10 more wisely.

    You are already past the point of no return, have crossed the Rubicon, are in too deep - the only thing to do is enjoy the feeling of having attained a higher level of existance.

    I thought that I had reached a pretty good level of sewing when I learned to smock and could shape a piece of cloth into a garment by narrowing it into small corrugations and joining them together with decorative stitches. However - that was only a preparation for making kilts, which are an altogether purer form of folding cloth.

    I never knew I could get zen about material, but it is beginning to look like it might be going that way.

    I had one special-weave kilt made - a Campbell of Breadalbane in Modern. The ancient is a regular weave, but I didn't like it very much. It only cost $200 more than if I had gotten the ancient made. There's a MacIntyre tartan that will also be a special weave that I'm thinking about having made, too.

    You have entered and like the Hotel California, you can check out any time you like but you can never leave.

    Speaking of which, I stoped to check the board when I first got home, I'm signing off now so I go and get out of these darned trousers and put on something comfortable....Hmmm I think the Black Stewart is calling me!!!!

    Cheers,
