They play bagpipes and drums. You wouldn't think that playing just bagpipes and drums would sound so good, but it does. From reading your last email, you mentioned wearing a kilt. I would suppose this means you know your clan. I'd be interested to know what clan that would be. I myself could most likely claim lineage to the clan Mac Gregor from my dad's side of the family. My fiance's lineage is of the Gunn clan; which is the Viking clan of Scotland. He's the Deputy Commissioner of the Clan Gunn society of Southern California. I'm his helper and secretary. Well, now that I've said my two cents, I'll step down. Of course not before saying what I've said before about our favorite musical artist. Mr. Robertson doesn't know it, but his last name is a major sept name of the Scottish clan of Donnachaidh. A very well known clan and very old.

With MY reputation? What passes between your mother and I is a beautiful thing that should not be sullied by referring to it as flirting. BTW, those lamps are cool (I remember them FIRST time round). My daughter got one last year and it looks great, the only slight problem is the motor that drives the colour palette, which sometimes makes a rhythmic grinding noise. Actually, it could be sampled and used as a pretty good percussion track, but it can be distracting when you're trying to watch the TV. For Christmas she got a lava lamp (and I remember THOSE the first time around as well) so the fibre lamp has been relegated from her bedroom to the living room. It complements the soft light from the fish tank very nicely.

I think Kate means Cary Elwes, who played Westley in "The Princess Bride". Kate has hit the nail on the head for me. You see, in college, I had Cary Elwes, Thomas, and The Bane of My Existence all swirled together in my head. Put them into a mixer and, for me, the Perfect Man would be the result. To this day, I am a sucker for dashing blond men with a great accent and/or tremendous musical ability. Well, my secret's out now. - - Melissa ------------------------------ End of alloy-digest V4 #28 **************************
