Off to the Irish pub to watch the match, then to a plastic paddy friend’s house to play guitar and drink Guinness. Hurrah! Beannachtai na Féile Pádraig! ---

Got home from my shopping to find that the mail had arrived, including a bunch of DVDs I had ordered. Among them was **Finian’s Rainbow** , which I am currently watching. Later I’ll be getting out my copy of **The Quiet Man**. The corned beef will be simmering (not boiling) on the stove shortly. I don’t normally drink, but I’ll probably crack open the bottle of Irish Mist tonight and raise a glass to the memory of my late wife, whose father was born in Ireland. ---

And there is much rejoicing! Huzzah! Let’s all get drunk and have a Virtual Dope-Fest. Woohoo, who’s with me?! ---

The kids (5 & 7) and I cranked up the Pogues this morning, and I have corned beef simmering on the stove. You won’t catch me out on the road much after 5:00 pm or so, though- frigging amatuer night out there. Hey newbies- if you aren’t used to drinking all day, then you shouldn’t. Just a thought. _Leave it to the professionals… heh heh heh_. Deb, who hasn’t blacked out on St. Patricks Day in 16 years! ---

Heh. And the Irish have knocked Pakistan out of the cricket World Cup! Who knows what odds you could’ve got on that pre-tournament? ---

[QUOTE=Malacandra] Heh. And the Irish have knocked Pakistan out of the cricket World Cup! [/QUOTE] Amazing. And the rugby went well despite the final try let in at the last minute, resulting in loss of the championship. Ooh my head. ---

I used to know an Irishman who would go ballistic whenever I told him “Top o’ the mornin’ to ya,” because – he said – no one really says that in Ireland. I would say it to him often, hehehe. ---

Yeeeesh, I turned 21 at midnight on the 17th of March…oh man… I’m so friggin tired still. Not only that, but I was at Daytona Beach on spring break with a ton of friends… Spring Break + St. Patricks Day + 21st Birthday = well… I think I sobered up a little while ago ---
