Started off with some good news which for the moment must go unreported lest it fall into the wrong hands. Stay tuned.
This was the weekend of the celebration of the birthday of Robert Burns by the St Andrew Society which involves getting dressed up, eating Haggis along with a fancy meal, British beer and copious amounts of rather good whiskey, and a society fundraiser.
The Haggis was better than average being rather more highly spiced than usual. I got to take a generous helping home, and will report that it's also great with an egg for breakfast. The fundraiser was a great success, and the drinks were first rate as well.
NOTE: Modern hearing aids are wonderful, being programmable to amplify the higher frequencies more than the lower ones. You probably don't want to be wearing them while listening to a 20-piece bagpipe and drum band at an indoor venue. Especially if your table is 10 feet from the pipers. At a safe distance, however they sound fine, needing only a couple of heavy metal guitarists to round out the affair.
The weather even cooperated not turning from the predicted trace-to-1/4" to the actual quick, blinding 2" we actually got. Made for a slow drive home.

My wife and I attended festivities for Bobby Burns' birthday for our first time with the Caledonian Society here in Boise. Plenty of haggis to go around.
