Action Packed....

So I'm writing this from San Francisco.  My going away party took place at a jazz club in Harlem.  Some friends came by and much fun was had.    The pics are below.

Saturday night I attended Burns Night at the Edinburgh Castle which was pretty much the same as always. Jack the bagpiper (who also starred in "So I Married An Axe Murderer") marched up and down the packed bar playing his pipes.  People got drunk.  Burns poetry was read by a few, including a Zen Scottish Nun (remember, I'm back in California folks), and whiskey was poured over the haggis which was then consumed promptly by the hungry hordes.

I saw friends and it all generally felt pretty good.  Today, I've just been wandering around SF in a fairly meditative mood.  I really don't miss it here.  So far, moving out East has been a good move.  SF moves too slowly for me I think.

Anyway, I head back to NY on Thurs, pack Friday and move into my new apartment up in Massachusetts on Sat.  Action packed indeed.

Ah yes, Burns Night; the price we pay for the Scots remaining docile and compliant for 364 days a year. A small price to pay in my view. Although "Braveheart" made them get a bit uppity for a while ;-)

I've yet to meet a scot who is "docile and compliant". That's a new one! That's also why I like them! ;)

Now this looks like a whole bunch of fun. Cheers to you..
