    A Pat being a saint? How is that even possible?

    In the 5th century there was no EPA or OSHA so it was a whole lot easier.

    How did St Pat do it so fast?

    He used a SsssssT.

    Today is my Marine’s 21st. He wears the green for a very different reason.

    Always in a hurry, too. Said hello to this world only 40 minutes after his mother broke water. Primetime, too. 2040 ET.

    When he was 5 we were in a restaurant packed for St. Paddy’s Day and he thought it was wonderful that so many people were out celebrating his birthday.

    Unfortunately, dad has a game tomorrow and is getting on an airplane this afternoon or I’d buy him his first legal adult beverage.

    Being a Scot , I am amused.

      I haven’t seen corned beef and cabbage for years. I don’t even know if they sell it fresh here.

      Being both a Scot and an ancestor of the Muintir na hÉireann, I am doubly amused.

      I’d like to drink a toast – Sláinte Gaelach – to all by business associates and beloved pals in Dublin.

    Happy birthday to your son too, EJ! Bless him with all the luck of the Irish. You’ve good reason to be proud.

    My mother was born in County Roscommon, so I’m thinking about her today. The town names near their farm always sounded lyrical – Ballaghdereen, Fairymount, and Castlerea. When she’d write to her sister, she wouldn’t put a street address on the envelope, I suppose there wasn’t any back then – just those town names, and the local postmaster knew where the family lived.

    Also, a nod to the great author James Joyce whose work drove me absolutely crazy in college but helped immensely to fine-tune my analytical skills.

    The die was cast when St Pat came around. Two were even cast and it came up Snake Byes. Never mess with a missionary man.

    Is it true in Ireland “case’ is translated to be “single serving”?
