And I had. It's sitting right there amongst all the other drafts waiting to be managed. Oh well, there's always next year. <br /><br />Have to say, in my experience, whiskey is always a main player in a Burns Night, Presbyterians included.Shelleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10239488936038510294noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7861447409543225070.post-12723083982053018672010-01-26T07:04:15.551-06:002010-01-26T07:04:15.551-06:00The Ancient - That's just rude.

(Imagine, if you can, a Burns Night celebrated by Scotch Presbyterians.)<br /><br />With it, however, the repeated toast "To Burns!" makes everything delightful -- if mildly disturbing to those underage.The Ancientnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7861447409543225070.post-40283514492176157412010-01-25T18:03:40.483-06:002010-01-25T18:03:40.483-06:00Yes Sir!
