Happy St. Paddy's Day

irish.jpgI'd like to take a moment to clear up something: Contrary to popular Hallmark-card sentiment, everybody is not Irish on St. Patrick's Day. Everybody can wish they're Irish, drink like they're Irish, and then go to confession afterward like they're Irish. But did your ancestors lose all their potatoes, watch a million die, then decide, "Damn, I'm hungry! Think it's time to go to America!"?

One parting thought for today: Eist le fuaim na habhann agus gheobhaidh tú breac.

In other words, Bridget seems to be saying, "It's an Irish thing, you wouldn't understand." :)

"Listen to the sound of the river and you'll catch a trout." :)
