Beannachtaí na Féile Páraic oraibh! An bhfuil tú dálta fós? A Happy St. Paddy's day to ya. Tis' March the 17th. The wearing of the green. My day starts out normal until about 10 A.M. when "The Madge" begins to remind me that I am a Mutt and not as Irish as she is. What a day at our house, with the sounds of Irish music playing in the background and the smell of corned beef and cabbage drifting through the house. I am sure she will watch "The Quiet Man" at least twice. All day long she will tell at least two dozen people that SHE IS IRISH, 100% pure, and that I am a Mongrel, a blend of German, French, Irish and god forbid English. She will also point out that our children, Colleen, Erin, Meaghan and Allison Shannon are more Irish than me, I am amazed that she could do the math. Today everyone is Irish, even the Mexican gardener is wearing green. "Hola Ricardo. Día de Patricks santo feliz." As far as I am concerned Irish Coffee should start being consumed around noon and hmmmm, I think I will wear my Orange "longhorn" shirt, that should get a raise out of her.
Slán agus beannacht leat 's Póg mo thóin!

OMG! I am laughing so hard at this! You really need to have a new career in comedy!
It's never too early for an Irish Coffee.
