Portland Highland Games, Portland, Oregon, July 17-19, 2015

[Rick Y]

Rick:

I stopped by your tent in the morning to say 'hello,' but you were busy with some folks and I realized I had to run back down to the lower field to finish stinking up the joint in my piping events. To be candid, the heat quite took my by surprise and I definitely didn't have good mind/body harmony to give it my best effort. Oh, well... This was my first time at Portland and it was a fun event, all things considered.

You had a nice area for your clan tent set-up. I kind of kicked myself I didn't get back up there to watch the athletes, chat with you and the clans and check out more closely the classic British motorcycles. An Ariel and a bunch of Triumphs and I took zero pictures. Where was my head at? I shall try to make a better show--all around--next year.

Sorry I missed you. Always good to meet a fellow XMarker face to face. At least, it is for me. I realize my face can alter that equation quite quickly!
