First I find out about the St. Patrick's Day fundraiser on the 5th, then comes ol' Craig at Red Lion Pub with Robert Burns Night. Marvelous stuff, this. I won't insult your intelligence by going into Robert Burns' background-- Peggy Noonan of the Wall Street Journal wrote a marvelous column at the end of the year featuring good Mr. Burns and his efforts to document Scottish folk songs, among them Auld Lang Syne. Click on the picture of Burnsey for a link to her column. It's a real cockle-warmer, especially after New Year's, now that we're back to our business and have set about re-forgetting the memories we tried so hard to recall during the holiday season.
Anyway, Burns Night is next Saturday, the 29th, at Red Lion Pub on Shepherd at 7 pm. Craig will be serving haggis, and he's about the only person in town I can think of whom I'd trust to prepare such a concoction. There'll be a Best Man in a Kilt contest and other fun stuff, no doubt. The boys at the Red Lion really know how to throw a party, so this should be a good one!
