    Alan,

    Is this for the games in Santa Cruz this summer? Does this mean Richard and I have to come in great kilts too the event?

    Cheers

    IN FACT......

    yes.

    I'm going to schmooze you both to come to Ardenwood on Tartan Day and hang out with the Guild and the Highland Warriors and St. Gyles, clad in Great Kilts. Bring the FHCAG in her killah My Lady Fairewear, too.

    for sure!!!!

    fezzes at the ready!

    If "Rabble" is the term for a group of men wearing kilts, then what is the term for a group of men wearing fezzes?

    I suggest the word "fezzim".... which would make us all a "fezzimous rabble". Or perhaps a fezzimated rabble.

    Placing a fez on someones head invokes a verb,does it not? I suggest "to fezzimate"...as in...

    I was hanging out with the fezzimous Nor Cal rabble, and suddenly James fezzimated me!

    Richard Brown is a great guy. He made time to help me in Tartan Day presentations to my children's schools the last two years we lived in San Jose. His vast knowledge of Scottish/Celtic history (including the influences on the birth of the U.S.) is impressive.

    Yes, he is. I like him a lot, and he's a level headed dude in amongst a whole lot of drama queens and princes. Note the eyeroll, here...not about Richard, but about some other folks.

    ANYWAY...

    I spent two hours this morning, re-pleating to get pleats the proper width and then sewing in the pleats with 6-8 stitches under the belt area where the stitches will be hidden. It's done. Will get pics in a day or two.

    This took thirteen dollars and about five hours of work.
