Top o’ the morning laddies and lassies! As I strolled across the Emerald Isle this fine day, I happened upon a brilliant establishment in County Mayo and had a wonderful meal. I like to enjoy various places in my fictitious journeys, and I was taken by the old world style and the brilliant red doors of this building. At any rate, I wish all of you a wonderful St. Patrick’s Day. May the road rise up to meet you and the wind be at your back and may God hold you in the palm of His hand. I think that’s how it goes. Oh, and may you have lots of money too! Haha!
Interesting fact of the year: “The first St. Patrick’s Day parade in America was held in Boston on 17 March 1737 and the practice began in New York on 17 March 1762. Chicago followed suit later and has a tradition – since 1962 – of dyeing the Chicago river green with vegetable dyes. St. Patrick’s Day is celebrated all over now and is the longest running civilian parade in the world – a secular celebration in which ‘all the world becomes Irish’. Such statements, of course, annoy the real Irish no end. Everyone wants to have the Luck of the Irish, they say, and no whit of our Troubles.”
And Happy St Patrick’s Day to you me lad….
And don’t forget that you descend from good County Mayo men and women.
