Last night was one of those joyously random St Andrews occasions that pops up on a semi-regular basis. First went to community/university joint chorus to see if it was something that might be fun to participate in (it was). It's basically all these local older town natives along with a few intrepid souls from the University and these people are, I kid you not, VERY GOOD. I mean, even someone who had done music for more than a dozen years (ahem...) would have had trouble keeping up with them. We are, apparently, doing Handel's "Messiah" on November 24. Then went to the Bop, which is basically a lot of sweaty undergrads dancing around, but three of us did manage to get finagled into singing a jingle about sheep (???????) on this guy David's new radio show. Hmmmmm.....
Then today I took a highly entertaining day tour run by everyone's favourite company, Haggis Adventures! Our guide, David (not the same one as last night), could not, of course, hold a candle to the original Kilty Snoggerino after whom this blog is named, but he did a lovely job all the same. I am, most of all, delighted to report that Hamish the coo is well and thriving as ever! But do you suppose it's always the same Hamish the coo, or do you think they change coos every so often when the first one dies, like parents do with goldfish when they don't want to upset their children? The world may never know.
Also, GO SCOTLAND!!!!! We beat the Ukraine at football today! (Waves flag enthusiastically)

Waahhhh, I want to VISIT SO BADLY!!! I want to go on Hagis adventures with you! So you have to try really hard to get into the PhD program, so I can come visit, because there's no way I can do it before the end of the school year.
Did Hamish seem to recognize you? Wave his horns? Shake his head? Say Howdy? If now, then I think we're either dealing with Hamish II or Hamish CCLII.
I would love for anyone who wants to to come visit! I'm going to be here through August for sure, then we're praying to the Holy, Great, and Awesome Gods of Academia for a pass into the Ph.D. program. Hamish did not give any indication of recognizing our previous relationship, but then again he kind of looked like he might have been taking a nap. It's hard to tell if there was any kind of meaningful eye contact going on, as they are (obviously) so very hairy.
