Headed to the Navy Ball again

[macwilkin]

I may have to move up research on Burns a bit on the list. Like most Americans my only exposure to him is on New Years Eve. Since there is so much to learn around here I'd kind of push him to the back. Since I have no rythem and quite frankly, horrible taste in music, researching a poet never was a high priority. I plan to drag my wife to a Burns Dinner this year so I guess I better brush up.

Thanks,
Jim
