Burns Supper improv

[McMurdo]

That sounds like a hoot, take lots of pics, and have a great night.

Excellent! Be sure to give us a writ down copy of the Ode...or better yet, get the video out and post it on Youtube.

Improvisation? I read something like this in a book once:

In the old days, the rabbi would go out to a secret place in the woods, light a fire and say a secret prayer.
Years went by and the ritual was passed down but along the way the words to the secret prayer were forgotten.
The new rabbi then went out to the secret place in the woods and lit the fire and said, "God, I've forgotten the words to the prayer but I have gone to the secret place in the woods and I have lit the fire...I hope that that's okay...".
Again, years went by and somehow the location of the secret place in the woods was forgotten.
The next new rabbi could do nothing but to light a fire. He said, "God, we've forgotten the words to the prayer and we've forgotten the location of the secret place...but I have lit the fire...I hope that that'll do...".
Once again years go by and, believe it or not, they manage to forget how to light the sacred fire.
So this rabbi has nothing to do but look up to heaven and say, "God, we forgot the words to the prayer, we can't find the secret place in the woods and we can't remember how to light the fire...but we remember the story."
And God was pleased because it was more important that they remember than that they carefully observe the ritual.

Enjoy!

Best
