NYC Mom

Well sorta...kinda. Back a few generations and over from Scotland I am. A few years ago my brother in law was kind enough to delve into our genealogy and apparently we're Irish back a few generations so I figure, hey what the heck....if Mike Bloomberg can be Irish today, so can I.

Everyone knows the story of St. Patrick driving the snakes from Ireland, as seen above. But here in NYC it's a weekend long celebration of the drink. We went out to dinner on Saturday evening, about 5pm, and there were people, dressed in the green, pub crawling already. I'd forgotten how big a party it is here in the city since I don't party anymore. I guess any excuse will do for a party, huh?

Happy St. Patrick's Day to you all, Irish or otherwise.
