I actually don’t _really_ celebrate St. Patrick’s Day and am not even a little bit Irish. On the other hand…

I am wearing a green shirt ( well, I was - another warm today out here in the SFBA - the touristy “Chicago” tee I’ve actually had on most of the day is actually more of a gray-green ). But that was because it took no effort top do so. And I am making cornbeef, cabbage, and boiled red potatos ( almost done ) - but that’s because I like the stuff anyway and make it a few times a year, so why not today :)?

On the other hand, much as I love Guiness, I’m not drinking any - it’s Pyramid Apricot Ale, instead. Nobody’s perfect ;).

My eyes are green.  
About 0.002%  
I’m sick so I missed the parade we had. That’s about 2/10ths of one percent of a full blooded Irish person’s celebration, right?
