newbuzz...It is St. Patrick's Day, and everyone is Irish. I wore green today. Lots of people at work wore green today. All day long I heard hushed plans of meeting at various pubs and bars to drink green beer. Is that was this day is all about? I have to shamefully admit that I do not know St. Patrick's claim to fame, though I think it has something to do with the great potato famine. I know it is a day for parades, bagpipes, and Irish pride. No one seems to mind that it is an ethnic/religious holiday. No griping about foreigners. No wishing "they" would go home. This is one ethnic holiday that is fun for all ages and good for local businesses. I suppose there was a time when this may not have been so. I look forward to more ethnic holidays that bring people together instead of bringing out the worst in some folks. For now, I'm going to enjoy the fun, have a beer, and steer clear of leprechauns.
