Work kept me from getting there until around 12:30, so I missed your group photo, and was a step behind the rest of the day. It was a grand day, indeed, and I went back today for the parade of tartans, etc. The crowds were a small fraction of those there yesterday, and it rained during the parade. Still, it was a good games. Sorry I missed you guys.
One of the best parts of my day was meeting all the various X-Markers who were there. I am sorry I did not get a chance to meet everyone but after the group shot I was able to meet a few more. Scott it was a real pleasure being able to talk with you, with the drive you had I don't blame you at all for your clothing choice.
The band was very good, as they are X-Markers too they actually mentioned that McMurdo was in the crowd wearing one of his many kilts, it was really cool

Here is some video we got of madbagpiper with The Hooligans
I have to say seeing The Hooligans like that then meeting the guys was worth the drive down from Toronto in itself. You guys were amazing, and if you have not seen them go out and catch a show it's worth it. I'm listening to the new CD now, thanks again for a great show guys.

I think the preferred term is 'flag retirement' - not 'flag burning'. The former has a positive connotation, the latter is more negative.
(Per the U.S. Code, when a U.S. flag is no longer suitable for display, it should be retired - preferably by burning. Lots to be found on the web about this, so I won't go any further.)

Thanks for the information, I was wondering about this "flag burning" thing when I saw the picture.
Here's my group shot, which proves I wasn't dressed casually all day. I'm wearing my 'coon skin sporran, which a certain X-Marker was jealous of. I won't mention any names, but he's third from the right in this shot.
