I was on my way to the post office today to mail a hip flask that I had made for one of our members when it popped into my head- a flask is an almost universal sigh of friendship! Why not an X Marks flask to send around, and at gatherings, to pass around? The recipients fills it with his beverage of choice (which in my case is water) and gets together with other X Markers and friends, and takes a lot of pictures, etc, and when it's empty, cleans it well and sends it on! I would be more than happy to create and donate the flask. I thought perhaps someone could send me a scrap of X Marks to sew onto it. I have a few design ideas in mind already. I personally think that the wee Saltire was a brilliant and unifiying thing, and something that I thought was an important part of this community. IF I do this, it's with the understanding that this flask, and it's accompanying log book, will be no one's property, that it is to circulate for as long as it exists, and as long as this forum exists, or until we all get bored with it and collectively retire it. What do you all think?
