The Great Robbie Burns

Rob, as you are probably aware, today is Robbie Burns' birthday. Did you mark it? I did. And so, I quote from "To A Mouse:"

"...But, Mousie, thou art no thy lane,
In proving foresight may be vain:
The best laid schemes o'mice an' men
Gang aft a-gley,
An' lea'e us nought but grief an' pain,
For promis'd joy.

Still thou art blest compar'd wi' me!
The present only toucheth thee:
But, och! I backward cast my e'e
On prospects drear!
An' forward, tho' I canna see,
I guess an' fear!"

God bless Robbie Burns. And Happy Birthday to him.

River,

No, I was not familiar with Rabbie Burns. I guess I must have heard of him before, but I certainly can't remember. Thanks for sharing that wee bit o' prose, though.

Hey Billyjoe!

Hey, Billyjoe,

What can I tell ya? The boy's good.

Thanks for telling me about him.

I appreciate the sentiment.

Welcome back Rob (at least for a minute)

Hmm, tried to post a reply just now, including a graphic, but the image was not showing up, so I backed out. Not sure why that happened.

Good to hear from you again, Rob.

Yo, Billy, same here.

Yeah, it feels like we're getting the band back together now!

Great hearing from you again, Rob!
