Off to Scotland

I am traveling today to Edinburgh Scotland for a few days. I have always thought of going and two of my esteemed colleagues strongly suggested I go there and I really value each man's judgment. Each guy knows how to have fun and I enjoy working with them very much.

Of course, the plan is to watch a match in that time. The city is home to two clubs in the Premier league one called the Hibernians. They are playing Saturday and I will be there. Next Saturday, the other club "Hearts" are hosting the famous (to me!) Celtic team but this weekend worked better.

Timing is everything right? I am not really a world traveler and when I do, there seems to be some strife where earlier there was none. For example, my wife and I had an incredible vacation a few years ago that started in Greece. The country was almost in a civil war and was bankrupt and the rumblings were just starting when we there.

Scotland is publicly stating that they want to be their own country which you can interpret and debate as much as you want.  To me, that is strife!

While I am having these great experiences miles from the  US, my Dad is having some major surgery and I am thinking a lot about him and my Mom. I am certainly with them in spirit today.
