I'm almost nine & you're much taller than me!"

He was wearing his feather bonnet at the time, of course.

Now my youngest has his own special memory of the evening. Unfortunately, now he wants a bright red jacket like the WG wears.

Boy, am I glad that you can't just walk into store & buy one.
I got to talk to several Black Watch "Jocks" after the show manning the CD table. Nice lads, all under 21, very polite. They were from Fife (naturally, since the BW recruits from Perth, Angus and Fife) and were very supportive of Americans taking an interest in their heritage.

Cheers,
