Today, my birthday, I woke up to a beautiful collection of songs being played on the bagpipe. Somewhere near my house lately, we’ve been able to hear someone practicing on the bagpipe, and this morning, they chose a lovely selection to play. It got me up on the right side of bed and gave me a smile on my face. No bitch today!

Ha…perhaps we live in the same neighbourhood. I’ve lived in my current apartment for over 4 years, and every summer the area gets serenaded by a local piper a few evenings a week. He’s actually getting better year after year! 🙂
I’ve got a buddy who plays the bagpipes. A couple of weeks ago, he was driving around town, running errands, had the pipes on his back seat. He had to pay a bill downtown, parked, went in the building, but had stupidly forgot to lock the door.You guessed it: when he came back there were three more sets of bag pipes on his back seat.
Cool – have a great B-Day!
Yes I thought you might like that. Hope you had a great day. See you next year when I’ve got something even more special for you. But remember.I’m watching.
