Michael, happy belated birthday! My ISP was fubar'd and wouldn't let me
post for a couple of days.

You were talking about festivals. Are you familiar with this one?

I'm going to be in the vicinity on October 8th and thought I might attend
for the opening ceremonies, if possible. You may have heard a vague rumour
I'm Scottish LOL

Indeed, and rocks too I'm guessing But not the one night we can attend.
We'll be working (in Highland, of all places) the day the actual sporting
events take place.

ancient Greeks throwing a discus, but probably much harder given the length
and weight of those cabers
