I'm a gonner.

Moderation, whats that? Ha!

I guess I need to do like Cameroncat says and just go to Scotland and get it out of my system. Imagiation is always so much better than reality.

If you go to Scotland I dare say you wont get it out of your system, and I found in Scotland the reality far outdid any perceived imagination I might of had of the country. Personally Im ready to go back for a very long extended stay.

Hey, better an affair with Scotland than that little teller down at the bank.

I don't recall who it was, but I have seen a signature here on Xmarks that was something to the effect of, "I have a fever and the only prescription is MORE KILT!"

Aint that the truth! My wife would even agree with that.

I do think I have kinda found my niche though. I started out really enjoying the "Wallace age"/12 century and have now migrated to the Jacobite period. So romantic! As a former warrior, I am well aware of the reality of war but at the same time why not revel the "epicness" of the endevor. Diana Gabeldon has not helped much. Though her books are a little more juicy than I like, she really sets the stage for interest in the 45. Makes me want to wear a belted plaid, broad sword and dirk all the time.

I spent several hours yesterday on the Mackenzie Frain website. Wow, nice things in there. Too bad times have changed so much that dressing in that fashion would make you a freak in modern public. What happened to style and class? My wife always tells me that I was born in the wrong century, it appears more and more so.

As to Scotland being better than my imagination, I fear it is so. I bet its hard to come back after seeing such a awesome place and people.

I feel your pain. While I'm not an admirer of Jacobite-era dress, I do have a love affair with post-Proscription and Victorian-era Highland styles. Talk about style and class! But outside of very specific events, it would be pretty silly to walk around in public dressed like that.

Been there. done that. Bought the T-Shirt... and the kilt... and another kilt... and another kilt... Am now counting the days until we go for our first visit to Scotland :-)

Revenue Canada wants to do away with all of the change. Lose too much time counting.
They only want the folding stuff.

I see nothing wrong in being obsessed with this behavior. It would seem perfectly health for anyone who finds himself born a few hundred yeas too late! Or....perhaps in a previous life?
