My lady and I might be going, we don't really know yet. But come July 19th, I'll be looking to get out of Phoenix weather and come enjoy some nice cooler temps for the weekend. I'll have to see how things work out, this time everyone needs to post a picture of themselves so that we can actually find everyone. We had a slight difficult time at the Prescott games identifying everyone.

[Yaish]

I do plan on being there, providing all goes well. I will probably only be there for one day but I am not sure which day yet. I may throw as an A, I may throw as a B. It all depends on what the athletic director decides to do based on my scores. I'll probably have to move up to A class for that game.

When I know more I'll post.

I'm planning on it also, as the boy will be competing if they ever tell me how to register!

Got this one on my calender, last years was real fun. Hey Retro; this time we drink the Scotch in the correct order

If you are referring to piping or drumming, if you send me an email, I can forward you the competition application for these games.

shameless BUMP!

[Retro Red]

WOO-HOO!!!

I'm going to at least make the 2nd day, Sunday.

I really want to make it to the single malt whisky tasting & ceilidh on Saturday night at Charly's, but it's going to be a challenge. I'm flying back on the 19th from a week in Chicago. (Hopefully, my flight will be on time - a big "if" these days.) My plan is - land in Phoenix at 1435, go home, repack, drive up to Flag, check into my motel & hopefully make it to Charly's by 1900.

I know I'll see you, Darren, at the whisky tasting!

I'm looking forward to seeing others of the Rabble up there, too!

I might be able to make Sunday, but I'm not sure yet. I had forgotten about the highland games on the 19th, and scheduled a kilt night here in the valley already. Grrr... Oh well, I will see what I can do.

[Ayin McFye]

I'm going to try and reschedule the July 19th kilt night. I'll let you all know here soon.

DOH!
