Tonight my wife and I and 20 folks from work will be venturing up to Seattle to watch the Nutcracker. It is only my 4th time out (number 2 and 3 being the Highland Games, so they don't count). Only a couple of the friends saw me kilted the first time.

The tartan is a Moran tartan (green background with blue/red/yellow--very similar to County Mayo, which coincidently is where we originated). White shirt, red tie, lovat blue Argyle Jacket, and off white hose will complete the outfit.

My wife has been very supportive, and while she tends to seem non-chalant about it, I think she enjoys it. This summer at the games when I hadn't quite decided to pick up the Argyle jacket or not, she told me I was pre-approved to spend the money on it. If that isn't love, I don't know what is.

Pictures and stories will follow tomorrow.
