Pass the haggis

Posted by: Dona in event

Robert BurnsUntil recently (like two days ago) I didn’t know that Robert Burns’ birthday was January 25. I also didn’t know he wrote Auld Lang Syne. Nor did I know that some Scottish folk celebrated his birthday with a dinner in his honor.

Now I know all of this because our Scottish friends, the McBride / Weatherers (or McWeatherers as some call them), have invited us to a Burns Night tomorrow.

According to the Internet a Burns night is celebrated with haggis (eww), whisky (yum), and poems* (fun).

I think I’ll recite “To A Mouse”.

I’ll let you know if I survive.

    For less than $15,000 USD at least one person has made sure to be protected from vampires by purchasing an authentic eighteenth century vampire killing kit. And here I thought silver bullets were just for werewolves… (0)

    What's up with the weather?
    It’s the middle of November for heaven sakes and we have a tornado watch in effect. It’s nearly 70 degrees outside and as humid as the Amazonia exhibit at the National Zoo. It’s either global warming or our second Indian Summer. (1)
