I don't know Gaelic.













Last night Dick watched the show and I think he enjoyed it thoroughly. He was most impressed with my portrayal of Dale and thought my head movements were quite good and better than my brothers! Ha Ha! After the show we had dinner with Adrienne and her mom. They were enjoying all the stories he had to tell. The bartender who took our order was from
Braintree! Small world! I told her how I used to work at the plaza and we bonded! This Saturday there is a huge football match between Scotland and Italy that is happening around here so people are getting so hyped up for it. There are Scottish flags up in every window. The bar had three up in the window near where we were sitting. These kids tried to sneakily rip them down and bee-line for the door with them. One made it out but the second got stopped not by someone who worked there but by another customer who was enraged by this. He made the kid give it back. It was quite the scene! Today I accompanied Dick on some business. He had to meet with this man at the RSAMD, Royal Scottish Academy of Music and Dance to talk about his festival coming up in January. They were talking in Scots Gaelic so I had no idea what they were saying. Then Dick bumped into the drummer who accompanied him the time he did his performance on the dart board. He raved to both of them about what a great performance my show was so that was nice! After listening to Gaelic for quite some time we went to an Irish pub, Molly Mallones and got some food. We also attempted to check out the McLennan Gallery but it was pretty lame and we took a peak at this Piping Museum. After we knew it, it was time for me to head to the arena so we said our goodbyes. It was great having a visitor! Hopefully I will have some more to keep me sane!

We did learn Seven-Up back in the day...and I have no idea how to spell in Gaelic, phonetically it was something like schart-sous.
