Okay, We're Finally Done.

It's been a marathon of St. Patrick's Day Festivities around these parts...

. . . I mean, every day, we don the beads.

We don them to serve . . .

. . . we don them to partake . . .

It's been super fun . . .

. . . and we've had some celebrity guest stars pop in to visit . . .

. . . Scottie! . . .

. . . Louie! . . .

. . . Larry! . . . 

. . . and two of my favorites in all the Land . . . 

But, man.

Between the boozing . . .

. . . and the parade-going . . .

 (this time all the way over in Mystic)

. . . and the bag-piping . . .

. . . and all those celebrity guest stars! . . .

. . . well, I think we've all worked hard, and we've all had just about enough . . .

. . . well, okay, maybe not these guys . . .

. . . these guys don't seem like they've had enough yet.

But for the rest of us? It's been a great couple of weeks celebrating our Irishness with music and Guinness and corned beef and soup and jigs and parades and love.

And now we're done.

See you next March.

Sláinte!

Fun times indeed!

On St. Patrick's Day I went to happy hour and requested corned beef on my loaded potato skins instead of bacon. And my black & tan was muddled. Then I went home and watched Moonlight

Mistah and I went to the bar in Mystic yesterday full of men in silly hats and kilts, state cops packing heat, firefighters in full regalia . . . and I said to him, "I don't think they do it like this in San Diego."

This is what we do to make ourselves feel better about being *here*, for the endless winter. It's fun! The men look cute in their kilts. And man, can those blowhards blow some hot air into their pipes-of-bag.

Miss you San Diegans.
