Happy St. Patty's Day!
"The true joy of life is the journey. Don't become obsessed with calculating the steps to achieve goals. Instead, eat more ice cream, go barefoot more often, swim more rivers, watch more sunsets, laugh more, cry less, and enjoy the presence of the people around you."

Happy belated St. Patrick's Day everbody!! Sorry I missed you yesterday, I was out drinking a few too many of those green beersTEB wrote:Happy Saint Patrick's Day as well. Remember, it is about more than drinking green beer.
I would guess your average American doesn't even know that this is the anniversary of his death.
Great fun yesterday, today not so much 
It is sad Tom that probably 80% of the people that were out celebrating had no idea why, except that " Its St. Patrick's Day".

... this year was the first time in about 30 years that I spent St. Patrick's day outside of Ireland. I was in Germany working 
..... Interestingly and I am not sure if you know this but St.Patrick wasn't Irish
... he was English !!
Yeah, I knew that. He was captured by slavers (viking if I'm not mistaken) and was taken to Ireland to work. He escaped and fled back to England where he became a Catholic and then returned to Ireland, this time of his own free will, and served as a missionary to the people there including his former captives (although there were a few attempts on his life). I'm not sure how he died though.
