Loch Norman/Grandfather Mountain Highland Games

I will definately be camping on the quiet side and stumbling home from the party side. That sounds like a much better plan to me. I am past that part of my life when I felt like I needed to party until sunrise. Been there, done that, got the brand to show for it.

Thanks for directing me to Mad Max. I will talk with him for pointers on the wrestling. That should be very helpful.

Mint Hill sounds fun but, I probably will not be able to make it to three events so close together. My wife has not gotten as excited about these events as some of the rest of us. I think my 7 year old son may have hurt her feelings when he told her that our ancestors kicked the crap out of her ancestors. He didn't want to hear the part about how he was half me and half his mother. I tried to explain to him that he should be more sensitive to the geneologically challenged but, he just looked at me funny, yelled FREEEEEDOM! and took off across the front yard, waving a stick over his head. He's kind of into the whole William Wallace thing. He was a little peaved about the beheading thing and really didn't take too kindly to the spreading of the body parts.

Now if THAT doesn't make your chest puff out a bit and bring a tear to your eye....

Does anyone know the status of Mad Max? I haven't seen him much of late, and I had heard rumors of ill health. I hope those rumors are false!
