    (bumping this puppy up as the time draws nigh)

    ...and my totally insensitive relatives are all planning their kids graduation parties for the Saturday! Guess they're going to have to put up with a kilted uncle and his "I'm-not-with-this-guy" looking kilted daughter.

    D'oh! Thanks AA, forgot the link!

    We'll hook up. I'll PM you in the next week or so and confirm when we'll be there. My DW will be out of town so I will be riding herd by myself. Of course, that means I can keep my own schedule!

    ...och, and there's even a coupon!

    By way of a bump...and because there's a coupon in the paper, one more reminder about the Chicago Highland Games...which are a actually in Oak Brook...I remember when they used to have them in Grant Park right in downtown Chicago...but that's as may be....

    Anywhooo...

    ...there has been a coupon in the Chicago Tribune (don't know about the Sun Times) the past week or so that reads:

    "With the utmost reluctance and a heavy heart, we offer ye this coupon for $3.00 off admission to the Illinois St. Anrew Society Highland Games and Scottish Festival." (I'd like to point out that that's $3.00 US...not $3.00 Canadian...which would be, like, $2.65 US based on today's exchange rate...not as good as when I was in Vancouver a few years ago but, hey, I always felt that there shoud be more parity between the currency in the US and Canada...but I digress...as usual.)

    AA, thanks for the tip. I will have to check the paper today. I am also going to check the site and see if they have one or offer discounted advance tickets.

    ...and...to continue to beat this dead horse...on to the weather for this weekend...

    It looks like it is going to be damnably hot - in the mid nineties - for the Highland Games here this weekend. Just when I was thinking that the crew from Greenville had a tough time with the heat at their games!

    I fear that we will again witness the appearance of the dreaded kilt-with-a-cowboy-hat this weekend...I'm taking my shade with me.
