SRS,
Thank you for taking time to design another solution for the collection bags. It's an interesting idea. My pockets seem to be working well so far. He needs to be able to drop the bag out his pant leg to empty it. The velcro fastener allows for that. If you're not squeamish about body fluids, you can see what I made here: http://flickr.com/gp/diffuse/Do4taD.

I've been slowly catching up with my spring chores. Friday I fertilized my lawns, Saturday I planted out the last of the geraniums that I brought indoors in the fall, fitted a new child's wading pool as a liner for my leaky concrete bird pond. Removed a dead shrub beside the pond, divided and relocated a large clump of False Solomon's Seal from the front of the pond to behind it to give me a better view of the birds, and filled the pool.

Now I must finish getting ready for the arrival of a daughter and her family of five, Sunday evening. I have their beds ready, but still have baking to do, cupcakes, pies and biscuits.   I'll try to get dry ingredients mixed before I go to bed so there won't be as much to do on Sunday afternoon. I think that in spite of pain I'll sleep well tonight/ this morning.
