Happy St. P's!

Obviously.

Here's something telling: some of my parents' Irish friends (by which I mean friends who are not only ethnically Irish, but also live in Ireland) flew to New York City today to celebrate St. Patrick's Day there. Plus, apparently most of the bands which play in the parade in Dublin are from the U.S.--maybe because all the really good Irish ones are playing in New York, too.

I'm not sure what that's telling us, but it is telling.
