Days away

I set off for Cooperstown and the Baseball Hall of Fame on Monday, June 11. I will be staying at the Barnwell Inn. In the yellow room, to be exact.

If you haven't checked out the "Links worth visiting" section of my blog, I suggest you do so. I've included links to places I will be going for my convenience and your perusal. The Hall of Fame site is quite impressive. Virtually, you can get a good sense of the museum's collections. The other sites are equally impressive, most notably the National Piping Centre site.

Here's some shameless adverstising, but for the common good. If you are a fan of or even only mildly interested in traditional Scottish music, mark your calendar for Thursday, June 28 at 7:30 p.m. in the Millbrook High School auditorium. The instructors from Scotland's National Piping Centre for Shenandoah University's Summer Piping School will be presenting a concert of marches, strathspeys, jigs, and reels. The instructors are among the finest bagpipers and drummers in the world. The concert is sponsored by The City of Winchester Pipes and Drums. I am one of their novice pipers. In time, and with a lot of practice, I hope to join their ranks. The cost is $20. For tickets, call Shenandoah University's ticket office at 540-665-4569.

That's it for the moment. Peace.
