    We usually stay in and have another couple over to watch movies and have pizza and some drinks but this year they can't come. We'll probably just stay in anyway though -- the roads are too scary that night. The others are coming New Year's day so we'll just do our thing a little late.

    Happy Hogmanay and New Year's!

    Daz, I know they have a big Hogmany event in Edinburgh, Glasgow, and Aberdeen, but do they have anything happening in Inverness?

    Hello from Scotland!

    This year, I will be celebrating Hogmanay properly. ;) Although I have been informed I might get kicked out before the bells, so I can be the first foot.

    Graham, we did the Rob Roy commemoration, yesterday. It was a bitterly cold march from the Kings Arms Hotel up to Balquhidder, but worth every step. When we returned, we had a good dinner and then were entertained by Cal and Albannach. Albannach lifted the roof off the place! As soon as I get back across to the States, I will get pictures posted with some links for you.

    Happy Hogmanay to all!

    Going to the opera with wife, friends and inlaws. It's been a tradition for four years now. Usually in tux - this year Kilted, Argylled and black tie!


    BTW, what is Hogmanay?

    Well tonight is "Hogemany Eve", right? And it's Bay Area Kilt Night at the Devils Canyon Brewery!

    It's also starting to rain. I suspect that attendance may be on the thin side. Nonetheless, Yours Truly will be there, carrying the standard and consuming his share of Silicon Blonde, Stout and Full Boar Scottish Ale!

    Hogmanay

    Going out with a bunch of our Scottish Country Dancing friends to a ballet! Here in Spokane we have first night when many people come out just to get out of their cabins. I hope you all have a glorious Hogmanay.
