Robbie Burns night, southern style

Just returned from the local St. Andrews Society Robert Burns Night. Yes, it was supposed to be in January, but hey - it got done. Already knew a few people there and met a lot more, most of whom seem to be related in some fashion to David. Guess that's what happens when your ancestors have been in the neighborhood for close to 200 years. There was a haggis presented to the audience, with bagpipe accompaniment, and displayed on a table, where it was extolled with RB's ode to a haggis, performed by the society president. Personally, I stuck with the pecan crusted chicken, mashed potatoes, green beans, and almond ball dessert. As I said, RB Night, southern style. With toasts to the President, the Queen, and all the lads and lassies, an auld lang syne to you all.
