For those of you steeped in mythology (or green beer), your time has come.
It is St. Patrick's Day!
Last night the Fighting Irish of Notre Dame defeated Rutgers in TWO OVERTIMES to make their way into the 64-team field who begin competition today in the annual NCAA Basketball Tournament.
It was truly March Madness so once again the Irish among you have something to celebrate.
As for the other mythology of the day, there's this:
Happy St. Patrick's Day!
Sláinte!
I broke my fast early this morning with a sizable slice of that Dutch Apple Pie my beloved baked yesterday.
And I topped it with two small scoops of vanilla ice cream.
All at around 8:30 a.m.
It was wonderful!
And now that Pi Day has been noted and celebrated, we can get on to the next festive mark on the calendar.
Far be it from me to attempt to bake a pie on Pi Day.
But that may be because I have one of the finest chefs in the world living under my roof.
She took up the challenge.
Here is her product, fresh out of the oven.
That's Judy's Dutch Apple Pie.
What makes it a "Dutch" apple pie, you may be asking.
I did.
She told me it's because it has a crumb topping rather than a second crust.
I just know that I love it.
And I love her.
But not so much that I couldn't play around with it a little bit.
March Fourteenth.
I guess you know what that is.
Yup, it's PI Day - 3.14.
Thank Wacky Wally for reminding you.
We had one of those days yesterday that makes one realize how ingrained the Internet has become in one's life.
Our router had died sometime Friday night and we no longer had the Web.
Or Netflix or Amazon on our t.v.
And a tech could not come out until today.
But he has been here and installed a new router and everything is all right with the world again.
So I can post a meme that Comical Carol sent me on Friday and which I had intended to post yesterday.
Some books you might wish to seek out.
Here we go again.
It's over.
The week is over.
And it's time for a scintillating weekend, y'all.
Or should I say y'all y'all.
Whichever it is, have yourselves a lovely weekend.
And always remember to keep laughing!
Here, kitty-kitty . . .
