From MonkeyFilter.com
" St. Patrick's Day falls during Holy Week this year. Some St. Paddy's Days have been moved to March 14th, others not. Check your local listings."
Re your priorities:
"Actually, you're born Irish first, and then you're baptized Catholic."
And:
" I once stayed at a hotel where there was a Hibernians convention going on. I've never seen so many green cars in one parking lot in my life. When I ran out of hot water, I liked to think it was because of all the Hibernians boiling potatoes in their rooms."
Which reminds me of that old joke about an Irish 7 course meal ... a six pack and a potato.

I hate corn beef and I hate cabbage. Oddly...I'm of Irish heritage! I do, however, like beer, and I'm enjoying one right now, so I guess I'm still a good Irishwoman.

Isn't the day after St. Patricks Day a legal holiday for those who partied hardy! I like lamb and gabage . I think that is really the original meal of Ireland.

I married into a full blooded Irish family. I love corn beef and cabbage but oddly enough I have never seen them eat it. I will have to ask the wife why that is.  This also makes the family reunions interesting. I'm Italian and neither side will admit their wrong or want to loose. ;D |

Do we have a little Scottish in ya or are you just referring to the bird like Ostrich found in the Scottish mountains. Although I hear it is very tasty and is enjoyed by Americans. |

That would explain it. I know when I go there for dinner I always get meat, mashed potatoes (the best ever) and peas with rolls or Italian bread.  |

 He is a little better than yesterday, but he will be in the hospital for a while yet. The fluid in his lungs was from his congestive heart, and they have him scheduled for some more tests and a consult with a pulmonary doctor. I am on my way out to go see him now. I appreciate the prayers and concern! I hope everyone will keep him in prayer.
