As my Irish heritage requires, I am wearing green and have cried while listening to "Oh Danny Boy."
Enjoy the day! :cheers:

I'm wearing green! (I don't know if I have any Irish in me, but I don't want to be pinched.)
We had a pleasant dinner with some friends. Had Honey Mead for the first time - beyond excellent. This stuff was
G O O D. We also sampled a bottle of Scottish Ale aged in whiskey barrels ... smooth beyond all expectations.
It's good to celebrate the life of a man like St. Patrick with friends and make wonderful memories with lots of laughter. I'm of Irish ancestry (if you knew my last name, you'd see the connection to Ulster immediately) and our friends that came over are of Scottish descent.
The High Kings, Clancy Brothers, The Corrs, Julie Fowlis and Paddy O'Reilly (and others) tunes in the background...what gets better?
