re: St. Patrick's Day.

Just a couple of quick comments.

1) I do enjoy the music and festivities of the day, but I only attend them every 2-3 years.

The crowds are far to big, loud and rowdy for me to enjoy the festivities.


2) My name is O'Halloran, I have no need to wear wear green to prove that I'm irish.


3) I love celtic music, but not what most folks call "irish" music.

1) I used to play in a dart league. One day we had league on Mar. 17. Took me 1/2 hour to go to the bathroom -- not that the bathroom was crowded but could not WALK from one end of the bar to the other. That was the first, and last, time I was in an Irish Pub on St. Pat's

2) My name is Wu :} but that's something I can blame the husband for. I've got Sweeneys and Corcorans running through the blood. I have no need to wear green to prove that I'm 75% Irish -- and I have NO need to drink green beer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Tonight, lamb chops, braised root veggies, and colcannon - how else can I get cabbage into the kiddies.

3) I love celtic music AND Irish music - at least if we're talking the "drinking song" genre. (Me father was orange, me mother was green).

OH -- check this ...
