Happy St. Patrick’s Day

The cold I’m fighting may slow me down a bit, but Happy St. Patrick’s Day to everyone just the same. That same cold and some unwelcome rain water in the basement have likewise derailed any thought of attending the Manassas St. Patrick’s Day parade which is a shame because it’s become a tradition for us to hit the parade and then fest at Philly Tavern. We’ll certainly be back next year.

Anyone who reads this blog has seen my Irish book reports and knows we’re deep in preparation for our trip to Ireland in just two weeks. For some more good stuff about St. Patrick’s Day, we watched a good program on The History Channel last night about The History of St. Patrick’s Day which was very good.
