It’s now the sixth day of April, 2006, where I live, so let me welcome you to Tartan Day<\/a>, a day to be celebrated by Scots and those of Scot descent. Since it is Tartan Day after all, let’s start this with the tartan of my family, which is expected to play a prominent role in my pending nuptials. Ladies and gentlemen, I give you the Wylie family tartan.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Next, here’s a quick look at the historical reason<\/a> why April 6 has been chosen as the day of celebration. <\/p>\n

Me? I’ll be marking the day by donning a shirt in the famed Black Watch tartan. Too bad such noble garb will be wasted in the cube farm. Hopefully, I should have some good wedding pics for the 2007 edition of Tartan Day.<\/p>\n

Now, I’ll put up more Scot-related material later, but I wanted to point y’all toward the third annual Gathering of the Blogs<\/a>, as Ith at Absinthe & Cookies<\/a> presents a collection of bloggers planning on honoring the day. Those blogs, currently, are as follows:<\/p>\n
