Countdown to MDRF 2019

Yup, I know ... St Paddies day is right around the corner 

[Ranna]

How now let's not jump THAT far ahead.

For some of us a big holiday is next week ^^

Can't wait for my kids to see what Santa brought them.

If anyone hears me complaining about how hot it is at faire in '09 please slap me up side my head and remind me of how cold I was this morning!

[Master James]

LOL yeah I KNOW what you are talking about!  Back at the beginning of December I marched in 2 parades for VARF and was cold for the first time in my nobles garb!  I kept telling everyone to remind me how cold I am now when I start complaining in May!  LOL

[Dallan]

How many days left? This week is always tough on me. First day back to work since December 22; Christmas, New Year's and my birthday (yesterday) are over and we still have a lot of winter left. Come on  MDRF!

BTW – first time I was able to take the holidays completely off. Man was it great.

Happy Birthday cousin!

Once we get passed St Paddies day it is all down hill! Next stop Burn's night!

[Dallan]

Thanks. Burn's night?

I would have been happy to host a Burns night for you all this year but alas I will be in Ft. Benning, GA for my sons graduation from Army Basic Training. So, in my absence I charge you all with raising a pint for the great on Robert Burns!

If you are so inclined, google him for some of his great poem and toasts ... very educational. If you have never attended a Burns night before I highly recommend you find one and go. It is a fantastic time indeed. As for me, I usually go here http://www.royalmilepub.com/ which is the only Scottish Pub in MD. It can be hard to find but they are out there ... go, you will be hooked for it is unlike anything you have every experience - a real great time!

Word of advice ... typically for a burns night one needs to buy tickets ... get then now if you can. And wear your kilt lad! Maybe next year we can have our own little gathering and celebrate. We have 12 months to plan.

[Dallan]

Thanks for the birthday wishes and the education.

Best line of that web site...

"Liberal lashings of wine or ale should be served with dinner and it's often customary to douse the haggis with a splash of whisky sauce, which, with true Scots understatement, is neat whisky.

Huzzah!!!
