It was a great time! Sorry you all missed it.

Yeah, probably a four-hour drive or more, depending on traffic and what part of the island you're on. Good luck getting a gathering together down there!

The long-dormant Twin Tiers Kilt Club will meet up for a kilt night on Saturday, Dec. 19 at McGirk's Irish Pub, 1 Kattelville Road, Binghamton, N.Y.

Celtic Music by The Stoutmen starts at 8 p.m....

I don't often see guys wear their kilts that long, except at Ren faires.

I saw this a day too late, but no, I was not at Hunter. Had to work. Will you be at Altamont? I'm considering that one.

All honor and respect to Trefor, but Steve's math is off. 2009 to 2015 is six years, not "over 11." Even if you go back to the date he joined, it's only nine years.

Thanks, Trefor, for all you've...

I saw Barb on Saturday at the Central New York Scottish games. Her band, The Mohawk Valley Frasers, was on its way to compete, so I didn't get a chance to say hello, though we met at the same games a...

In Liverpool (Syracuse suburb). Anybody going? http://www.cnyscottishgames.org/CNY_Scottish_Games/Welcome.html

As a lifelong journalist, I take exception to this rant. If your small sample condemns all reporters, then I can say with absolute certainty that there is not an IT tech support person in the world...

I got my big tin of Walker's shortbreads from BJ's Wholesale Club and the Albarene Royal Mail catalog came today.

I've never seen them live. Looking forward to it.

Pretty far off topic, but I'm familiar with Gananoque. I go there every January for a curling bonspiel.

I don't know the answer to that, Kyle. I will note that the feathers he wears are not those of an eagle, however. In person, they appear to be from a goose.

I did not know about his architectural background. Thanks for sharing that. I have seen him weave tartan and heard him play the fiddle. A real Renaissance man and, as you said, a quality guy.

Ron Stewart is an institution, as is Ann. Here's a video I shot of him addressing the haggis at an event in my town a few years ago.

There's an outside chance I might be there on Sunday, but the weather does not look promising.

Reminds me of the County Down tartan.

The event was the banquet at the national convention of the U.S. JCI Senate. I was given the medallion because I was sworn in as national vice president.

I get to the Adirondacks once in awhile. A...

I had a formal event last Friday in Baltimore. It was nice to have a reason to bust out my Prince Charlie suit. My bride looked pretty damned good.

They're not anything I would wear, but a lot of people think we look ridiculous in our kilts. To each, his own.

Congrats! You post caused me to look up my own date of joining and I found it was nine years ago on Tuesday. Time flies!

I have stayed in the Royal Stewart Room at the Brae Loch Inn in Cazenovia, New York.

I go to a small Hogmanay gathering each year. Here I am, reading some Burns. The sporran is the Freelander I purchased in a three-way deal with MacWilkin and Tattoo Bradley last year.

No, it's not. It's covering the kneecaps entirely, which is too low. That's my only real criticism.
