‘Tis that day once again:
Many thanks to Ith of Absinthe and Cookies for once again coordinating the Tartan Day Gathering of the Blogs. Be sure to drop by her site, say Hi, and check out the many fine blogs participating in the Gathering.
Due to time constraints, I am unable to provide anything original this year for Tartan Day. In lieu of creativity, I’ll simply provide links here to some of my past efforts.
- Family history and legends — in which I explain how an American of English descent manages to participate in Tartan Day.
- Men in Skirts — why a guy named “Emerson” claims the Tupper tartan.
- Men in Skirts II — when will kilts be socially acceptable here in the U.S.?
- It Blows — I love bagpipe music.
- Emerson, Boozer — drinks!
- Speaking of special occasions… — more drinks!
- Wee Dram — even more drinks!
And finally, an obligatory pic of the Tupper family tartan:
Hey LC and IB Russ, i perform with Peninsula Scottish Fiddlers here in the Bay Area. Send me an email and i’ll send you some of our music.
