If you happen to be in Chadwicks down in Georgetown while celebrating a friend’s birthday on a Saturday night and you look out the window to see a man in a kilt talking to someone on the sidewalk, you might wonder.
Is he a bagpiper who was performing on a street corner earlier?
Can he play “Happy Birthday” on those pipes?
Will he come in the bar and do it for $20?
Will the bar manager allow it?
Will your friend get a kick out of it?
The answer to all of these questions is “yes.”
I have no idea what the answer is to “Did it annoy the crap out of the other bar patrons?”

Well I used to say something in my profile about not quite being a “tinker, tailor, soldier, or spy” but Tom stole that for our about us page, so I guess I’ll have to find another way to express that I am a man of many interests.
Hmm, guess I just did.
My tastes run the gamut from sophomoric to Shakespeare and in my “professional” life I’ve sold things, served beer, written software, and carried heavy objects… sometimes at the same place. It’s that range of loves and activities that makes it so easy for me to love DC – we’ve got it all.
