That's like finding my wife (Taiwanese) at H-Mart. Just look for the petite lady with black hair.

I thought I was going to miss the games this year, and therefor did not purchase tickets and parking pass in advance. Alas, my plans changed. Well, not 'alas'. It's a good thing! I'll be at the games and will see you guys around. If nowhere else, at the Tartans Museum tent at 1pm.

Saw tripleblessed in pants. Almost didn't recognize him.

I always have a hard time uploading photos to this site from my phone so I'll have to add the photo of the group meetup from my PC. I promise I will get it done, though.

Missed meeting you folks as I arrived late; picked up my wife's boy at the airport a bit after 11 then stopped at the vortex for lunch before heading over. Blairsville is touted as the largest gathering in the south, but I believe Stone Mountain was noticeably more well attended. Had a grand time. Taking the Coca Cola plant tour tomorrow so will probably miss seeing you this time, but will he back next year.

Did join clan campbell NA while I was there today, sobthat completes a bit of unfinished business.

Cheers all

Finally, as promised, a couple of my pictures from the weekend.
Here's me and hubby, excited before heading out to the Celtic Tavern:

And here we are with a very dashing group of kilted gentlemen! Mattie and Jim (TheScot) didn't make it. Left to right: Wareyin, TripleBlessed, RebelRouser, Creag, my husband Will, any myself.

If anyone lost their key fob to an Infiniti, one was found on the field. Email grounds@smhg.org

Yeah, weird; almost never happens, but time was more important than what I was wearing. In my defense, I
had planned on volunteering for the games, which covers your entrance and your park pass. Had to spend
the week looking for a replacement car, so didn't get to do that. Dashed out early to take care of pass/ticket
before the lines got long, then back to house to get Mary Helen out the door for a wedding.

Very weird to be the guy in Levi's with so many kilts, usually the opposite.
