Why Saint Patrick's Day?
Saint Patrick's Day has come to be associated with everything Irish: anything green and gold, shamrocks and luck. Most importantly, to those who celebrate its intended meaning, St. Patrick's Day is a traditional day for spiritual renewal and offering prayers for missionaries worldwide.
So, why is it celebrated on March 17th? One theory is that that is the day that St. Patrick died. Since the holiday began in Ireland, it is believed that as the Irish spread out around the world, they took with them their history and celebrations. The biggest observance of all is, of course, in Ireland. With the exception of restaurants and pubs, almost all businesses close on March 17th. Being a religious holiday as well, many Irish attend mass, where March 17th is the traditional day for offering prayers for missionaries worldwide before the serious celebrating begins.
In American cities with a large Irish population, St. Patrick's Day is a very big deal. Big cities and small towns alike celebrate with parades, "wearing of the green," music and songs, Irish food and drink, and activities for kids such as crafts, coloring and games. Some communities even go so far as to dye rivers or streams green!

Have you ever seen that fatboy.cc website?
I think it's run by Howie Carr, one of The Swimmer's perpetual enemies in the world of Mass. talk radio/politics.

Cute cat.

I'm a third Irish, I think.
More on my father's side.
His parents-my paternal grandparents-had grandparents who came from Ireland.
Well, on his father's side of the family they were from England, on his mother's, Ireland.
My mother's grandparents-or great-grandparents-were from Italy originally.
I also have some distant relatives-no longer alive-who I think were Scandinavian.

No, I haven't. Do you have the link handy?
To: All
As anyone can tell by my screenname, I am French on one side. The other side is about as English as possibly. There may be a tiny amount of Scottish in there, but it's uncertain. And just a teeny dash of Cherokee Indian.
