St. Patrick's day has always been a lock for me. I've never worn green because, after all, my last name is Patrick, I wear it all the time. Since I quit drinking 5 - almost 6 - years ago, I don't tip the mug, but I did go to the Dairy Queen today with my goddaughter and her sons and get one of those weird green milkshakes and I teared up last night when Regis Philbin and Craig Ferguson sang the Irish Lullaby last night. However, I'm even happier today that, less than 10 days after the temperature outside was 18 degrees, the thermometer tipped at 71 degrees!
And top o' the evening to ya all. |

There are no snakes in Ireland for the simple reason that they can't get there.

And who was driving those glaciers??????????????????

Wasn't it an incredible co-incidence that the missionary who came to convert the Irish was named Patrick, such an Irish name?
