Thanks,

I bet the chains are connected to a pocket watch, but I can not explain the reason for two chains.

It is indeed a pocketwatch. The chain is very long and looped through the third button on the waistcoat.

The show was excellent. The only problem was, being the last performance of the season, the orchestra wasn't performing. It was a soundtrack they danced to which I thought odd. My wife and I hold "season tickets" to the ballet and I've never seen a performance without an orchestral accompaniment until now.

A funny thing happened there too. While waiting in the lobby during the intermission, a woman approached me with her 17-18 year old daughter and asked for a picture with me so she could show her friends. I obliged, not being one to turn down a photo op with a pretty, young lass, and the mother commented to my wife that her daughter was in love.

A very handsome outfit you are sporting there (and the puppy is a winner a s well!)

Cheers

It's been a while since I've seen The Nutcracker, but couldn't someone interpret the toy soldiers as being a highland regiment.?

You do look like a million bucks (especially in this economy!

) Thanks for sharing.

What tartan is the kilt?

Possibly - certainly a kilted Sugar Plum Fairy might give the wrong impression!

Yes, I like the extra long watch chain. My current one is too short for my new fob; so, back to shopping....after Christmas. All around, you put together a nice outfit, Bryan

At one of the showings of the Nutcracker that I have attended (in Chicago or Pittsburgh, I can't recall), the character of the grandfather was kilted. Needless to say I was very excited. Of course, the dancers played it up a bit with a mock kilt check.
