Thursday: I got together with someone I hadn't seen or talked to in quite some time. I think we've buried the hatchet and I'm glad. I missed her :-)

Friday: Met my friend Mo up in Hampton Beach NH to see the Dropkick Murphys. They were great! Any band that has a bagpipe band march onto the stage before they start...amazing! The other bands that went on before them? Not so good...yaawwwwwn, altho to be fair, each of them had at least one song we kind of liked. One was a punk band from Beijing, China! Interesting. The crowd itself was fun to watch; so many tattoos!

Drove home with the big waning moon by my side, over the ocean. Did I have a camera? Nooooooo.

Saturday: Michelle and I went to Glasgow Lands Scottish Festival in Florence, MA (out near Northampton, a loooong drive). We got there in time to see a band called Enter The Haggis play...they were GREAT! Rock-ish, with a bagpipe player (two bands with bagpipes in one weekend!). It was fun, and I got to have some real haggis, with neeps and tatties, YUM! Here are a few shots from the day:

Later on that evening, went to Grendel's with Michelle, and Krista & Matt showed up! Our favorite bartender, Ned, wasn't there, tho :-(

We tried a new drink tho and it was oh so delicous! It's called The Ruby Vroom and it's made with Absoulute Ruby Red Grapefruit flavored vodka, POM pomegranate juice, pomegranite Syrup, Cointreau and a dash of Angostora bitters.

Sunday: I'm going to see a movie and who knows what else. More later!

I LOVE all that Scottish stuff - having a lot of Celtic ancestry, as many New Zealanders do. All those big brawny men in kilts...........but I digress. Great photos!

OMG! My best friend introduced me to Enter the Haggis about a month ago. Love!

I missed you too! Soooooo much!
