    Bummer. The only reason I could is because I get a substantial tax return. However, things in my family life have gone slightly downhill, and I shouldn't have bought it. Oh well. I didn't know at the time. And now I'm stuck with this wonderful kilt that's on it's way. I'll just have to figure out how to cope...

    So- I decided to get it pleated to the sett.

    Sorry to hear that, Hawk. Hope will work out well.
    I tried to ask my inner curmudgeon before posting, but he sprayed me with the garden hose…
    Yes, I have squirrels in my brain…

    Yeah, the economy has us in a bit of a bind. But that's becoming a common story all over. Business is really slow right now. Things will pick up- I'm looking at this as an opportunity to reorganize.

    Should look real nice, we of course expect pictures. Your pulling the trigger on the Colorado, and a moment of weakness, caused me to pull the trigger on the B & S ancient Lindsay (clan tartan, first tartan directly realated to my surname) which I had been drooling over for a while. On top of that I bought some fabric for Chasem to create a 4 yard box, so this last week has diminshed my reserves as well. We will both be in the same boat, broke but looking fantastic!

    Take a look at my website now, some major changes. I just qouted my 6th wedding for the season; and it only February! I'm working on SuperBowl goodies, but I'll send you some marketing advice to see if we can replace some of that lost income.
