Rabbie Burns Night (1/25)

Tonight was Burns Night, a celebration of the birthday of the great Scottish poet and lyricist Robert Burns (also known as Rabbie). For those of you who don't know who he is (I certainly didn't before I looked him up), he wrote the lyrics to "Auld Lang Syne", among many other things. Although the traditional Burns Night celebration involves the consumption of haggis and the reading of Burns' poetry, I spent the night out to dinner with friends doing neither. However, I did honor The Bard by drinking Rabbie Burns Ale (which tastes a bit like caramel and coffee) at a pub called The Blind Poet, so I figure I did my part.
