Hey Salsa - could you add 1 with me, as I figured it would be OK if my DGF accompanies me; she's a rider too and she's looking forward to it also. Thanks!

Hey, I forgot to also ask---does anyone have any really compelling food "issues"? Want to make sure everyone will be able to eat!
Knot? Gluten? Anyone else?"My predominant feeling is one of gratitude.

Me, gluten. Not an issue, I always find goodies to eat! (and I'll bring something, too.)
Most foods *don't* have gluten!

Well, aparently your department of homeland security or suchlike doesn't let haggis be imported to the US. Probably afraid one mouthful will turn you all into socialists. Originally Posted by boy in a kilt

And the more drunk I get, the more Scottish I become. Which means at some point I'll be arrested for 'breach of the peace' - which is a Scottish crime involving being drunk and singing very loudly out of tune.If it's not one thing it's another

I've got the official ruling and barring a major disaster, I'll be there. DH will not (so he says right now, I'll let you know if he changes his mind).
Now, where can I find a kilt around here?Living life like there's no tomorrow.
