A slow train coming...

[MacSimoin]

Great news!! I just received a tracking update from FedEx: The first Fitzsimmons tartan kilt ever made is on its way home with an expected delivery date of March 7, 2006. No matter how mundane it may seem, this is a bit of a historical moment in the history of kilts and tartans; to me it goes beyond 'jones-ing'.

And for those who are wondering...A huge Thank you! to Matt Newsome for making the kilt...Matt, I can't wait!!

I trust you'll place some well posed pictures up on the board for all to share. This kilt will no doubt be an heirloom enjoyed and treasued by your progeny.

Yeah! The light is definetly at the end of the tunnel! CONGRATULATIONS

[Andrew Breecher]

I can't wait to see the photos of you wearing the kilt. The wait will be worth it!

Andrew.

Congratulations! It's a really good thing when a new kilt is on the way but it's an AWESOME thing when a new kilt in your newly created family tartan is on the way.

There's nothing better than a tracking number - its always great watching your package getting closer, and closer, and closer...

Letting out a low rumbling growl that quickly turns into something piercing and vaguely similar to what might come out of the mouth of a dearg-dul...

"No tracking update since Saturday!!!"

Just kidding, I'm not really angry just being impatient...forgive me for the frivolous post.
