Last weekend was spent in Bellingham, Washington for the first contest of June 2008. Not only were we there for the Games but to visit with great friends. Bellingham is a happening place when you have a tour guide that knows just the perfect place for a perfect pint (the place was called Uisce - Gaelic for water) as well as a wicked Thai restaurant that employed probably the most entertaining waiter in the Pacific Northwest.
On the day, amid wind and rain, James P. snagged a 2nd, 4th and 5th in Piobaireachd, Hornpipe/Jig and MSR respectively, in addition to playing for a number of drummers and judging ensemble for the band contest.

Between both Jr. and Sr., they will be covering a number of the games this season. As for June - James P. will be heading to Alberta next weekend to judge at Ellersie and Red Deer. Put in your orders now - he may be able to deliver reeds straight to you!
BC Highland Games on the 28th weekend is also on the schedule for both as judges - and James P. and I will be on the boards to compete. Stay tuned!

Until then,
