My grandfather was a Past Master. We'll be delighted to see you at the Games! They are great Games and it will be a pleasure to see you there. Stop by the Clan Donnachaidh tent & introduce yourself. See you there! Mary

How hot is it going to be at the San Diego games next weekend?

Not a great time to be wearing wool clothing.

Projected high of 71 degrees both days. Perfect kilting weather.

On the one hand, I'm sorry I'm going to miss you all, but on the other hand, I will be home in Savannah with the family and the pooches for the first time since February. On the third hand, I'm sure at least one of you is going to post pictures (hint hint)!

Watch out, westcoast Xmarkers...

The eastcoast SHRINER is coming to town...

I made my flight arrangements last night.

I will be fling in Friday afternoon, Jay is going to pick me up and house this poor brother from Florida for the week end.

I am going to send my athlete app today, so hopefully I will be competing on Saturday.

Hope to see all of you there and Jay says we are having a kilt nite somewhere Saturday nite.

I can't wait, I have been jonesing to throw since my trip to Minnesota last month.

So California here I come...........

John

I will also be helping Jay start a New World Celt Chapter there..

Thats great news John! I hope you will enjoy our little state by the sea.

**Shriner** · 22nd June 08, 04:56 PM

Well I got a call from Dave the President of the SAAA.

I'm on the list...

Now I just have to decide if I am going to throw Saturday or Sunday.

Saturday I can throw with the "C"s, or Sunday throw with the Masters.

I am a (young) master.

Or just go on and throw both days.....

Of course it all depends on Jay and how much us Marines drink on Friday and Saturday nights.

I hope to meet as many Xmarks from the west as I can.

Wait a minute! How did this get thrown back at me???

You are a former Marine - You can drink all night and still get up early and compete - - - - - Right?

I think I'll have trouble enough keeping up with you!

**Yaish** · 22nd June 08, 07:52 PM

Man, I'm bummed. Friday I am going to a birthday party (tattoo party at that), Saturday night I'll be at a wedding, and Sunday I'll be competing. I don't think I'll get to see any of the rabble except for bits at a time. Maybe Saturday during the day, that's about it.
