men in kilts and other signs of spring...

another April, another Tartan Day parade. This one was smaller than usual though with the amazing weather the crowd was fairly large. Mostly just pipe & drum bands & lots of men in kilts (which, really, is the reason to go). I'll post photos later. Meantime, reading Deb Olen Unferth's Vacation. Which, of course, is wonderful so far. Finally giving up on "Monsters of Templeton" - nice cover art but beyond that, not much positive to say about it. Managed to miss the Black Angels (oops) but went to the Met's Tosca instead. Great seats and even better singing. Wish I could afford tickets to the new Ring productions. Hiking season soon which means lots more photos of paths near rivers, up hills, over mountains, and such like. Can't come soon enough.
