My Blue MacKay

...Of course, there's the everpresent pipe in my hand, and the oh so necessary cane...

Glassman,

Looking good, mate. Great pic...I could actually see this photo being commisioned as a painting (minus the dog toy, of course).

I, too, sport the 'oh so necessary cane' and even smoke a pipe like yourself (see my posts at The Pub forum). I also have a shillelagh that I'm going to start carving knotwork into soon (I've got it sanded down to the bare wood so far); I plan on using it at my wedding in October (don't like the idea of ruining my kilted ensemble with a beat-up black aluminum cane). Naturally, it will take a long time to Dremel the knotwork (months) but when I'm finished doing that it's getting stained a deep, dark green. I'll have to add a good supportive rubber cane tip to top it all off. Anyway, again...great pic.
