To A Mouse, On Turning Her Up In Her Nest With The Plough - Robbie Burns poem
by
Todd
on Fri 19 Jan 2007 07:45 PM PST
My friend Sherry Shaghaghi sent me this file of a mouth brushing his teeth. Each March Sherry organizers a Persian New Year celebration at the Harry Jerome Recreation Complex in the City of North Vancouver. Maybe Sherry and I will get to gether to create a St. Patrick's Persian New Year Celebration... sounds tempting eh? Perfect for Celtic Fest maybe?
I think this mouse is Scottish because he is wearing a plaid shirt... and his name just might be Stuart - a right good Scottish name! I have paired the picture file with one of Robert Burns' most famous poems below. more »

What to expect at the Gung Haggis Fat Choy 2007 Dinner
by
Todd
on Sat 06 Jan 2007 12:27 PM PST
Arrive Early: The doors will open by 5:15 pm. All seating is reserved, and all tables are placed in the order that they were ordered (except for special circumstances such as a major sponsor hint hint). We find this is the most fair, and it encourages people to buy their tickets earlier to ensure a table closer to the stage. We expect a rush just prior to the posted 5:30pm reception time. This is the time to go to the bar and get your dram of Glenfiddich or pint of McEwan's Lager - specially ordered for tonight's dinner. Ohhh.... but we might be having a special sponsor for drinks. We're working on it. more »
