Just wanted to say hey and.....
Happy St. Patrick's Day!!
Here's a little Irish Tradition for the day:
Many people will be eating Irish food such as Irish Stew and Corned Beef and cabbage on St. Patrick's Day. Corned Beef is not an Irish dish. It is what Americans think the Irish eat. A more traditional meal would be ham and cabbage or bacon and cabbage. Some say that in Ireland on St. Patrick's Day the traditional green beer is prominent. However, in Ireland, many years ago, St. Patrick's Day is considered a holy day and Pubs were not open for business. There were no parades, no drinking or wearing green. Green was considered an unlucky color. Crazy huh??

What the heck are you doing in S.F.?
Did you know that since we are Protestants, we are supposed to wear Orange on St. Patrick's Day? These colors are also symbolic in the Irish National Flag. Green represents the Catholics, Orange the Protestants and White the peace(or the hope of peace!) between the two.
