Temporarily distracted from Dickens by Scotland: I went to Boston Song Sessions' Burns Night at the Skellig. There was an "Address to a Kishke." It was pretty awesome.

The singing (yours among others) was terrific. And the grasshopper grace of the dancers was amazing.

Thank you. It was fun.

I went to a very nice Burns Night Supper once, and was simultaneously relieved and outraged to discover that haggis tastes just like scrapple.

The Mr., English-Scots-Irish that he is, insists that this was just because it wasn't very good haggis.

I really like haggis, actually. At least the times I've had it in a restaurant; I've never tried to make it myself.

Quick, drink some whisky and apologize to his shade.

I cannot reproduce any of the address, but if it ever turns up online, I'll link to it.

Are you at all local?

Glad you were able to go and had a good time! I'd love to hear or read "Address to a Kishke."

It was written by one Jeremy Kessler; if you are ever in his company, I can vouch for it.
