We were once in Manhattan for a matinee on a St. Patrick’s Day. Those were the days when we still rode the subway. There was a very confused older woman who seemed not to have a clue where she was or where she was going. We saw a couple of uniformed cops on the platform and tried to get their attention, but one of them, clearly intoxicated, stuck out his tongue and plastered his face to the window, pretending to blow a kiss.
Jeff, we went from 70 degrees to 30 degrees! An inch of rain fell yesterday with a chance of getting more today. St. Patrick’s Day is going to be soggy here.
When my daughters were young, they were members of the country’s all-girl fife and drum corps. Each year they would march in the St. Patrick’s Day parade in south Boston, and each year the number of parent chaperones more than doubled. Evidently the tri-corner hats of their uniforms were highly prized souvenirs for the inebriated. You really have not seen drunk until you have seen South Boston Irish drunk!
Good for you Irish guys!

Wolf, everything is green today!
I was just listening to a podcast yesterday about the “Irish-ification” of pop culture. Quite interesting.
Erin go braugh!
Deb, I’m listening to The Corrs and U2 and Van Morrison today. Top o’ the Morning to you and your family!

Nice.
Happy St. Patrick’s Day!
