Can we pin down a specific date?

Working on that. As soon as I know, I will get the word out.
Thanks for your support.

What tartan were you planning on getting him? I see a lot of good suggestions, and I was trying to picture what it would all look like.

Hunting Stewie because Boyd is a sept of Stewart, it's got a little color to appeal to the young man's tastes, and is a hunting tartan for hunting those rascally rabbits, er .. I mean rancid taliban.

The hunting Stewart looks a bit like the US Army tartan, to me at least. Will that be an issue?

By the way, will red or yellow hose look better with this tartan?

Hi Pipey,

I was thinking about matching the field color of the kilt, or maybe some oatmeal hose for casual.

I really don't see a strong similarity between the US Army tartan and the Hunting Stewart, but even if there was, I don't think it would be a problem.

I haven't heard from Specialist Boyd yet, but considering his circumstances, I'm not surprised. Efforts and Planning continue.

Cheers, ColMac

Oatmeal it is, then. Without the brown sugar.

Hey, this soldier was wearing a pair of boxers saying "I Love NY????" I gotta support this guy!

Colonel MacNeal,

Would you like me to meet you so I can get you the "X Marks the Scot" cap badge to you?

Sure, meet me at Finn McCools on Friday afternoon at 5pm, if that's agreeable to you. That's south central Fort Worth. I don't recall the address but Yahoo Yellow Pages will help you out.

But aren't you coming to the presentation ceremony in July? (I'm guessing it will be 11 July, but not firm yet) You can give it to him yourself.

Cheers, ColMac
