I hope I remembered to pack my Game Face
So tonight I'm catching a bus up to Ottawa, and while I'm going to get to see my parents and hopefully lots of friends.... the main reason is sort of business.
Saturday we're going to Maxville. And while 364 days each year nobody much cares about this joint out side of Glengarry County unless they were born there, or live there now, on Saturday it is the home of the North American Pipe Band Championships.
In other words, to a very small segment of the population, it's a big deal. However, I'm part of that small segment, so I'm actually a little antsy already. We're one of 5 bands in the Grade 1 contest where only one of the other 4 has placed ahead of us across the board all season.
This could be a triumphant weekend, it could be humbling. Either way, I'm excited to go.
The bus leaves in less than an hour.
I had better stop dicking around here and get on it. :)
