    That's a great story and only those of us who wear the kilt understand that it DOES do something to one's outlook on life and many other things.

    Sorry for the self quote but I wanted to add that Cessna's story embodies the Scotsman's spirit. All through Scotland's history hardship abounds. And the willingness to pick ones self up again and fight the way forward is impressive. Not something many can do Hats off to you Cessna

    You know, if we could live our lives all over again there are things we'd want to change. However I am a great believer in making the best of what you've got and don't really give any thought nor long for things that haven't happened. But hey, that's just little 'ole me. I rejoice in triumphs such as yours Alex, but take each day as it comes.
    There are more than enough disappointments in life.
