					Tartan Day is this Friday, and I've made it into a week long celebration by wearing a kilt everyday this week, giving numerous presentations and concerts on campus and around Beloit and planning a big Tartan Day party on Friday Night.

					Outstanding post, Greg!
 I am hijacking the pic of the Ladies from Hell, though - I love that pic and it will make a great wallpaper for my lappy!

					Nice pic of Melrose Abbey among those.  Maybe you will come to Scotland for a few days and visit the Borders abbeys during your stay in Galway.
