This is not a gathering of orphaned boys requesting annual favors from Santa Claus. This is actually the Greater Scotland Study Group, at a meeting last night at Standup Stan's, learning about the topographical elements involved in the negotiation of certain overseas real estate land assemblages, including some ocean-front property in the village of St. Andrews, just across the water from Norway.Prof. Dan Martin, seated, lectured the group at length, before it adjourned to take full advantage of the available resources, up to and including Stan's prized bottle of Louis Jadot Beaujolais-Villages 2003, which Stan had set aside, hoping to share with his patient wife on a special day.
Some small-world discoveries: Curt, in the lower right hand corner, has a 15-year-old in the Shakopee school tennis program, coached by Stan's nephew, Ford. The young man in the upper right hand corner, Tim, now a PGA pro, was a school chum of Stan's nephew, Aaron (Double A), at Eden Prairie.

The ad hoc group heads to Scotland March 8 and returns March 22. It includes a butcher, a bartender, a baker, a retired publisher, and sundry others. No candlestick maker.
