Happy St. Patrick's Day! Wear your green!

Any plans?

[dennyjones]

No real plans here.   My grandmother on my dad's side was from Dublin and her last name was Dublin so I guess I'm part Irish.     I bet I don't wear the green as well as her...

In many ways, I look at St Patrick's Day the same way I look at New Year's Eve, its a night for "amateur" drinkers to overindulge and act foolish.  That said, our golf club is having an open house this evening, so I'll stop by and have a couple of (not-green) beers before heading home early.  I'd hit the range or play a few holes, if only the course wasn't covered with snow.

I never could get into the whole green beer thing

Green beer has always been the cheapest beer available at any particular place, often Coors or Miller Lite, and its been a long long time since cheap beer appealed to my taste buds.  We don't have Guinness on tap at the club, but I might just have to have a can sometime tonight.

My wife is mostly of Irish ancestry so we have about 15 people (mostly family) for some toasts, beer, Irish whiskey, soda bread, and corned beef and cabbage.  I do the liquor run today and try to keep it all Irish and those that love the suds and whiskey plan to stay overnight.  I go back to being of Italian ancestry tomorrow!
