Excalibur

I made my University's newspaper in my kilt at one of the on-campus Robbie Burns events:

Lookin' good! I'm surprised that a sgian dubh is acceptable on campus, though.

York is a liberal and ethnically diverse campus to be sure and it's highly unlikely the administration would dare suppress a sgian dubh, especially on Robbie Burns Day. I wasn't the only person wearing one and the piper at the other event had a dirk too!

There was a brief presentation on Burns' life and fame, followed by a talk on his works including readings of several poems. We ended off with haggis (properly addressed), whisky, and assorted other victuals

Very nice! So, was the haggis homemade, Caledonian Kitchen or some other make? I had a girlfriend who made me my first haggis back in high school. It was disgusting, but what did I know?

I'm not sure where the haggis came from, though I believe there are several Scottish butcher shops in the Greater Toronto Area... regardless, it was tasty!
