Hi Keith, and top o' the mornin' to you too. :)

We have a place outside Buffalo, N.Y. called aptly, the Shannon Pub, and they have music from several traditional Irish groups scheduled throughout the weekend, including dance groups. ;)

Our area has a very large Irish population, and there is a lot going on, including a parade tomorrow. :)

Wouldn't you know it that we just got six inches of snow? Luck o' the Irish---. :D

Happy St. Patricks Day...and green beer day!

[Kmot]

I'm Irish all year 'round. :D

[der kapitan]

We tend to avoid going to the pub on St. Pat's day, because of the crowds of "amateur Irishmen" mobbing the place. Last year we tried to go there and couldn't find a parking place within three blocks---. :(

So wifey made potato-leek soup and soda bread for lunch, and it'll be the traditional corned beef and cabbage for dinner at home tonight. ;)

Harp and Guinness to wash it all down, and finished off with some Bailey's Irish Creme---. :D

[Kmot]

Well there dk, you definitely know how to do it up right! :D

Wifey is part Irish, and makes a big thing of it every year. This evening, we might have some guests over for topping up the holiday. ;)

For us, this is a warmup for September, when we'll be visiting Ireland with about 50 other people. :)

This will be her fourth trip to the Auld Sod, and my second. I go mainly for the music and the Guinness, and beause the people there are really nice---. :D

Their is a really good Irish resteraunt/pub in the Corktown neighborhood here in Detroit. The ol' lady wanted to make the trek down there today but I managed to talk her out of it as i'm sure its swampped today. Too many people = no fun. Not fun for me anyway. Went to a Living History Trade Show in Kalamazoo with my re-enactment unit instead.

Probably in a couple of years, my wife and I will be taking a trip to Ireland.

Kmot, Ireland is changing, what with the computer industry settling there, and
has emerged from a 19th century agricultural society into a modern one, complete with cell phones in every pocket.

Gaelic is still spoken in the rural regions to the northwest, and you can't read the road signs up there, as they're in that language as well.

Still, Irish hospitality remains as among the best in the world.

Finnegin: My wife has a terrible habit of staying up 'til two o'clock in the morning. I can't break her of it.
