“And it’s no they never, right up your kilt”. I have been sorely tempted to write a story about the Kilted Golf tournament as we head in to the 150th. running of the Highland Games. It would be such an easy story to write but oh so dangerous! Reputations might be at stake. Not many people would want to admit that , after finishing their round ( rounds ) at the Kilted, being too tired to make the ascent up the final hill, they decided to walk along the tracks to get to the pub. Finding a stopped  freight train ( coal cars to be specific ) impeding their progress at the Dairy, they decided to crawl over the top of a coal car to get to the other side… a version of “why did the chicken cross the road”. When the train shunted, they were too frightened ( inebriated? ) to dismount and were retrieved much later at a crossing in Tracadie. This story is fit to print. Most aren’t. If you want to send me a story, under the cloak of anonymity ( don’t put in on Facebook! ), please forward to me by e-mail. len.macdonald@eastlink.ca. I will publish those that are suitable for mixed company.

I had lots of feedback to the wedding reception story ( Last Waltz). Check it out if you haven’t read it. Other inappropriate “first waltzes” include ” If You Can’t be With the One You Love, Love The One You’re With”, and “Hold My Beer”. How charming.

I will be publishing a new story on Saturday about my escapades at the car wash a few years ago. It involves a sunroof. I will send out a short video clip tomorrow to set the story up.

Another week is hurling along. Is it just me and old age, or is everything speeding up?

Oh, yes. Someone asked me to write a story about the Bishop’s Bowl. Unless you are over 50, and lived in Antigonish in your youth, you won’t know what I’m talking about, but the story line is universal.

Have a great day. The long weekend beckons.
