You Just Gotta' Love the Green!


Happy St. Patrick's Day! Ahhhh, a day of festivity that greets us just before Spring. What's not to love? Gosh, get out those Celtic Woman CDs or listen to Van Morrison and love the day. Dye your local river green (they do exactly that in Chicago), cook up a traditional Gaelic dish like Colcannon, visit the local pub and quaff a few beverages, call someone named Murphy to wish them well, and if you are fortunate enough to have an Irish Lass by your side, kiss her like there's no tomorrow! By the way, if you do happen to visit that pub...don't drive drunk!!!!

"Saint Patrick was a gentleman, who through strategy and stealth
Drove all the snakes from Ireland, here's a drink to his health!
But not too many drinks, lest we lose ourselves and then
Forget the good Saint Patrick, and see them snakes again!"
