I guess you know why my blog has suddenly changed color today.
It's March 17th.
Happy St. Patrick's Day.
Though St. Patrick wasn't ever canonized by the Catholic Church, and he wasn't Irish, and he didn't bring Christianity to Ireland, and he didn't drive the snakes out of Ireland, and the day celebrating him in Ireland was a holy day marked with fasting and religious observances, and St. Patrick's Day as we know it with parades and green beer and drunkeness and corned beef and cabbage was actually invented in the United States by Irish immigrants;
In spite of all that, it's not a bad day for a pint of stout.
Sláinte!
