The Best-Laid Plans Of Mice And Men
Too easily turn to shit, then back to…
Truths or Lies
There’s every truth in the rumor that everybody wants to be a wee bit Scottish…or Irish (but for now, they, the Irish, don’t belong in this story).
There’s simply no truth in the prevailing ‘truth’, that Scottish people are stingy. That ‘truth’ was born of poverty and hardship hundreds of years ago. That it prevails to some extent today, is simply evidence of a culture that is tolerant, and full of humor, one that can rise above the jokes.
So…at last I have a story that will prove beyond doubt that I am correct about at least one of these rumors.
This story is about dreams that transcend time.
It’s about flouting the notion that dreams can, and easily do ‘gang aft agley’ (go wrong).
It’s more importantly about dreams being restored by a wee community that steps up to the plate, throws caution to the wind, and parties with a couple of strangers.
So…
Imagine, if you will, you hail from sub-tropical Florida where you could almost put the kettle on for choosing a sunny, predictable, beautiful one day, absolutely perfect the next, for a wedding.
