    At these shows he's an old guy wearing leather, people tend to be freaked out and stay away in droves. And in Canada it's not macaroni and cheese, it's called KD (Kraft Dinner). If you're going to spend the time up here, you'd better learn the lingo (and wear a lumber jacket), eh!

    I think you mean 'tartan day wear jacket' rather than lumber jacket!

    Ok, the appointed time approacheth.....

    Saturday night, July 3rd. 7:30 PM, The Queen's Head, Oakville. Come one come all...come for dinner, come for pleats, come for good times - whichever suits you best. We are in Canada now so even Grant's diabolical plot couldn't keep us from crossing the border. Now if we can just keep him from heaving rocks off the escarpement at us.... (had to buy a new windscreen last summer when we were here). Isadora needs to distract him.

    We're looking forward to it.

    It was nice to meet you and I really like the Army Green. Hope you can make it down tomorrow night. If not we hope to see you next time we're in town.

    SOKS'es - tonight (Saturday) is the night!

    7:30 PM EDT - The Queen's Head (what does that exactly mean? The Queen is here on tour but I don't think she's lost her head yet.)

    The Queen's Head
    118 Dunn Street
    OAKVILLE, ON L6J3E1
    (905) 842-3070
    http://www.queensheadoakville.com/

    It scares the hell out of me when a place advertises they've been around for 20 years and then they say they opened in 1990. That CAN'T be 20 years ago. I also have not spent the day playing with my grandchildren!

    Well, a successful kilt night was had by all. It's late and I'm tired and we have to start for home in the morning. There were a few pics taken which I'll try to post in due time but frankly we were all having such a good time that we forgot. ith:

    It was a great night! I really enjoyed the conversation, the Guinness, and the coffee! Can't wait to catch up again soon!
