Texas Scottish Fan, I can almost see your house from here. I work at UTA in the Library (also am MA '99 English), and a favorite English professor (Lacy) also backs up to the parking lot for the festival venue. White Way, on the corner. I'm glad to see other North Texas participants here at Mudcat.

Jed, do you have any updates for Alex you can share? I'm sorry you won't make it to the N. TX Scottish event, but at least it's because you're busy, not because of anything more alarming.

SRS
