    MacArthur!!!!!!

    Well...sorry about the wait...but...here it is - my MacArthur Modern from Burnetts and Struth in Canada. It is 16 oz REAL WOOL FROM SCOTLAND (never thought I'd have one of these beauties!).
    You'll recall the story...Burnetts and Struth had an amazing sale on selected tartans, including the MacArthur Modern. SO, after deciding that this opportunity would probably never present itself again, I became a nun on a mission (well, other than the usual mission I'm on!)...I had to come up with a way to honor my MacArthur ancestors by acquiring a kilt in this tartan. I sold a classical guitar, an electric guitar and amp, a marching band bass drum, and I actually can't remember at this point if I sold any other instruments or not.
    SO, HERE IT IS...the moment we've all been waiting for...drum roll, please...The MacArthur(!!!):

    AND, my apologies for not wearing it in the photos...we share everything in the convent, including nasty cold germs, so we are all under the weather at the moment (and yikes...I have a job interview on Wednesday!).

    I love that tartan. Congrats again cuz! I am almost finished mine. I love 16oz, don't you? Can't wait to see pics of you in it!
    Thought I do have to say about your paper's title:
    Anthropologists!
    Get well soon.
    Wear in good health,
