    Tartan Day in Toronto?

    Anyone up for a get together in Toronto for Tartan day? There is a pub on Bloor that has an upstairs room we could reserve tables in. I'm sure they would be ok with some piping as well. I would also bet thatvwith some advance notice they would supply some haggis as well!
    Just a thought. Anyone up for it?

    If we do it on a weekend I'm sure Catherine and I would come.

    Tartan Day itself is a Tuesday - which may or may not work for me.
    The following weekend is the last weekend before tax forms are due, so that may or may not work - it depends on if I've finished my taxes and my parents'.
    I am easily moved for sympathy for dogs, far more so than for humans, because dogs do not understand. There is no way to explain that you will return, that the vet will make it all better, that they cannot go shooting today because that is not what today is about. They cannot work out that their misery is finite and will some time end, and so their misery is magnified.

    Is that April 6th?

    That would be right around the end of classes, so I'll have to wait and see how my homework load is...

    April 6th is Tartan Day. However as it is in the middle of the week I'd like to propose doing it the following weekend. I'll volunteer to Address the Haggis if we can get one.
