On Thursday, March 17 I'll be making the rounds
going to parties at my favorite Irish pubs in town,
visiting with friends, singing Irish songs (including
getting up onstage to sing with a band or two), and
enjoying some Guinness, some wonderful Irish food,
and I'll be at it from morning to night. I am also
taking the week off from posting new commentaries,
essays, and the like, as I have begun celebrating the
feast day of Ireland's patron saint just this past Saturday
in similar fashion and am taking in a bunch of like
activities throughout this time. And I, and all my
friends and family, are grateful to have our St. Patrick's
Day back, with all the activities which we always enjoy
on the day but had them taken from us during the
COVID-19 pandemic. We outlasted the virus, and we
are back in the business of having good old-
fashioned shenanigans just as always!
We shall, of course, get back together next week
and resume business, poring over the political and
economic news, commending the heroes and condemning
the heels. In the meantime may you all, my treasured readers,
have a wonderful St. Patrick's Day; even those with no Irish
blood in their veins can have a grand time on this special
occasion! Enjoy!
