The Scot is On Notice

Amazing how little phrases creep into the vernacular - first Truthiness, and now /On Notice/.

And so it was this weekend, when Marooned came to town, that The Scot was put on notice from across the border (and a substantial span of water, I might add). First, for leaving town for The OC when Marooned made the trip, especially in his position as President-elect of the Official Marooned Fan Club, and secondly, for dissing Rufus Wainwright's version of Hallelujah. Apparently, and TK swears by this also, that the Jeff Buckley version is the definitive - I'd be prepared to argue that The Master does the definitive, but capital /W/.

Aside from the Notice, it was a great weekend - good drinks, good talks, good walks, good BBQs - I think men should ALWAYS be present at baby-showers, they add a certain note of ... panic to the proceedings - good brunch and good beach time. And then a far too early ferry ride.
