    OK, I finally got my things together (actually, got the computer working again - $#*! Microsoft!), so I thought I'd post a few of my pictures from the Long's Peak Highland festival.

    Here's the X-Marks bunch (those of us who found each other, that is). From the left, Livingston, Mael Coluim, HeathBar, me, McNulty. Mudd and family stopped by after this picture was taken. It was great to meet all of you. Hope to see you again sometime down the road.


    It wouldn't be a festival without a parade or two. Here's the start of a clan parade (I think) from Saturday afternoon.


    My kids were big fans of the jousting. I was too, for that matter.


    The kids also really liked the trebuchets - this one was the biggest, and it was hurling bowling balls into the middle of the lake periodically. Here, it's just about ready to fire.


    Here's something you don't see every day.

    More pictures from Long's Peak festival - you won't see these everyday.

    This gentleman was kind enough to produce a nice pose.


    A Roman Centurion? Well, OK.


    A hurdy-gurdy!


    I'm not sure what was up with the wig and all, but this guy seemed happy.


    All in all, a really fun day. I wish I could have gone for more than just Saturday, but alas. I'm already looking forward to next year!
