Cheers to a Fabulous(o) Weekend

The extra 'o' is especially for Ailsa. I had a pretty darn good weekend, packed, but so fun! I finally got a hair cut after thinking about it since about February. It was nothing very drastic, I only lost about 3 or 4 inches. A very good friend of mine got married, so there was a very nice bachelorette party, the beautiful wedding and some post-wedding cocktails and an absolutly amazing conversation with some of my favorite people about saving the world, economic democracy, and monks. I love having intellectual conversations in somewhat unitellectual places. I'm so anxious to start back to uni. I saw the flat that I'll be living in for the year too. There's lots of couch and floor space, for any visitors that I might have. Hint, hint. I got to catch up with lots of people whom I haven't seen since I've been back from Bonnie Ol' Scotland. Your ears should have been burning because I was talking about Scotland a lot.

One of my visits was to see a priest-friend of mine who lives just ouside of Denver in the city of Boulder. As we were driving around town, I noticed a bumber sticker (I don't know if that's what you call them, but a sticker that you put on a car...) that read 'Screw Tibet. Free Scotland.' I don't agree with the bit about Tibet, but I have envisioned a 'free Scotland' bumper sticker since I first visited Scotland when I was about 13. It was a world cup year, so I think Scottish patriotism was running high and apparently I caught on. I guess I wasn't the only one. That's my craic. What's yours?
