Day 102: 'Tis a wee dilemma I'll be havin' here: whether to celebrate Burns Night as my Scottish kin are sitting down to table tomorrow, or wait until the following day when the calendar rolls around to January 25 on this side of the globe. It is a problem which confronts me every year, this international disagreement of clocks. Scotland is eight hours ahead of the Pacific Northwest. I had not done the calculations until now, and have just discovered that a compromise can be reached. At 3 PM January 25 Pacific Time, it will be 11PM January 25 in the country of my maternal forebears. I think that calls for an early dinner.
