Kiss me I am Irish

...such were the words on this button I got from my CEO who had been in NY on St. Patrick's day....many years ago.
(He must have felt I needed it more than him....It's all gone now. Unfortunately. Could come in handy...:D

Anyway: HAPPY ST: PATRICK'S DAY to all:cheers1:

Saint Patrick was a gentleman,
Who through strategy and stealth,
Drove all the snakes from Ireland,
Here’s a toasting to his health.
But not too many toastings
Lest you lose yourself and then
Forget the good Saint Patrick
And see all those snakes again.

:cheers1:

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Happy St. Patrick's Day! Anyone else making Irish soda bread and corned beef? We're having our annual showing of "The Quiet Man", a tradition that started with my mom and dad (who were not Irish) but loved John Wayne and Maureen O'Hara. We've continued the tradition even though mom and dad are gone.

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

This day always makes me miss living at home. My mom would throw an amazingly huge party every year and make corned beef, boiled potatoes, boiled cabbage, Irish soda bread -- it was so much fun. It's just not the same sitting alone in my apartment. At least I'm wearing green?

Happy St. Patrick's Day! Makes me wish that I was in Ireland right now... maybe sitting in a pub in Sligo. Oh well.

I will soon depart for my annual St Padrick's (proper spelling) ritual of performing Scottish pipe tunes for drunk Americans pretending to be Irish.

For any of you in Seattle, We're perforking in the St Patrick's Day Parade along 4th ave from Pioneer Square to Westlake.

any FL'ers that want to show up at the PIke place pub, Big Tim Brewery or Murphy's....i'll buy you a pint. (find the really tall Bass Drummer from the Pipe Band. That will be me.)

Slainte!

Oh no, is it that time of year again? Time for me to close the blinds, unhook the phone and sign out of MSN messenger.

I doubt I could make it through another evening of green vomit, loud drunks and horribly, horribly poor impersonations of Irish accents.

Besides, what's so great about chasing a couple of adders out of Ireland? Those things are barely capable of killing you as it is and probably kept the rodent population in check too.

This is the first year in many that I'm not doing a big huge St. Patrick's party with loads of corned beef & confetti potatoes (mashed with diced carrots & celery & sliced green onion & cream cheese all whipped together in the KitchenAid) & steamed cabbage & beer bread (nobody would eat soda bread when I bought or made it, so then I started making beer bread with Killian's) and Irish CD's playing on the stereo until Paul or whoever sits down at the piano and starts to play. Last year, I think it broke up around 3:30. But this is opening weekend for a Frank Sinatra tribute show, so that's where I'll be planning how I'll be taping it next weekend.

But I've got a brisket simmering away already...and who knows, maybe post-show, we'll venture forth to yon Pioneer Square to partake in the drunken revelry mentioned above by Rongoms!

Heh, while I like St. Paddy's day well enough, always felt other places got shorted on this score.

Still, enjoy the day - I might take a tipple.

Strangely I don't do much of anything special to celebrate today, despite my name. Or maybe bacause of my name. Although if someone offers me corned beef I will eat it.
