    Opera Night

    Here's a pic of my partner and I ready for the night out. We went to our local performing arts hall to see "The Barber of Seville". It happens to be right next to the Hilton as well, so we stopped in for a drink first. Being new to single malt, I plunged and ordered a dram of Laphroaig. Oh man, I'm ruined. One smell and I was enchanted.

    During intermission, I had a lady turn, look at me in my kilted finery and exclaim "well done!".

    Afterwards, we were off dancing at a local watering hole and a few drams of Macallen. A fine time was had by all.



    Happy New Years everyone!

    Very nicely done! Tracy and I have been looking attending the symphony this coming season a few times. Here in Denver, it's a pretty open dress code: tuxes to jeans and your best Stetson.

    Bryan...how was the opera?...

    You both look great. Everytime I hear of The Barber of Seville I think of the cartoon version with Bugs Bunny.

    Kill the wabbit!

    A fine look. Your lady looks proud too. What a joy that is.

    Looks like you have all the gear for a traditional kilt waiting...hint hint hint....

    Just outstanding. I was originally going to wear my kilt to Phantom of the Opera with my wife, and she was really excited about it. but because of a....hmmm, an...aggressive negotiation with another guy, I had to switch to pants and a differnt jacket, so as to not be quite so easily recognized. Boy was my wife upset with that. But good on you, and Happy New Year.
