My lovely girlfriend, Andrea, and I before leaving for a scotch-tasting dinner at Kiran's Indian Restaurant in Houston, TX. It was not a true Rabbie Burns Dinner, but the Glaswegian MC included a good many Burns rhymes while describing the six scotches we sampled during the reception and five courses. And, I lived to tell the tale, lads....


If you can tear your eyes away from the cute lady on the right, I'm wearing my Campbell of Breadalbane tartan kilt. It was not a formal dinner, so I wore my black argyll with waistcoat and striped long tie.
