    Checking back in

    Good afternoon all. I have been reminded that I just hit an anniversary with XMarks, frankly I don’t know which one. But I have been remiss in my posting. Guess it’s the natural progression on things. I see some familiar names and a lot of new ones. I will be catching up. I’ve moved to a new farm, Ballantrae, loosely translated it’s by the water. I don’t think our little creek is on a map, but love the name. Feel free to say hello or stop by if you are in Kentucky. Is the local group still meeting?

    Ballantrae.... baile an(n) traigh? (town on/at/in the shore?)

    BTW Thornton is a common name back home (West Virginia), our neighbors were named Thornton. And there's a nice tune, Thornton's Jig/ The Thornton Jig

    Anyhow have a great trip!

    BTW there in Lexington you might run into my old friend Gene Smarte, who plays drums and pipes, and who has been playing pipes with The Kentucky United Pipes & Drums.

    Here he his, with the big muttonchops, third from right in the back row
