Tam O'Shanter - Tam O'Shanter is Robert Burns' most famous narrative poem about the problems of bumping into witches at Halloween, particularly when under the influence of drink! The neighbourhood takes its name from the Tam O'Shanter Golf Course (Wikipedia article on Tam O'Shanter-Sullivan, retrieved in May 2008).

While Donna is quite correct about the origin of "Tam O'Shanter," I associate it with a hat of the same name (and origin).  They were popular for little girls back in the 30s and 40s (check Shirley Temple) and I had one that I was quite proud of.  Fancy new things were a rarity during the war years and that is probably why I remember it.  That, and the neat name.

Ah yes, How well I remember wearing them.  Always matched my coat.

  I've been going to Cape Cod for the last 13 years.  Stay for 2 weeks.
  Where on the Cape did you go.  I stay in North Eastham.  Coast Guard beach is

Where are the oars ???

Well, the pool was delivered yesterday morning - Rich calls it Janet's boat - you decide

I'm using Shutterfly because Kodak Classic isn't working, so do provide feedback, as I slapped this together quickly.  Thanks!

 On days like this, you need your "Braveheart".

I watched it all the time after school, until it ended. No one I know remembers this. Someone out there must have seen it.

Thankfully, I missed it !!!

Robots have birthday parties with cake and ice cream just like you carbon based life forms. My party is at the Radio Shack at 14:00. Spice nut cake with extra nuts (and bolts) and silicon chip ice cream will be served.
