My grandmother was Irish and my middle name is really Irish - "Desmond". But on Saint Patty's day I wore Khaki pants and a red sweater - absolutely nothing green. It's a holiday I've never participated in.

I had my birthday dinner party today and we ate -- chicken. Don't know what I was thinking. My mom makes the best Irish Stew...

We had Yuppiemart take-out pork bbq and sauteed collard greens for dinner. I guess that's sort of in the neighborhood, right?

First, my boss and I went to NYC to see the Parade and then went to a few pubs. Yes, he's an awesome boss and I've been very lucky. Even cooler, we ended up playing flip cup with a couple of college kids--my boss & I and two girls versus a bunch of kids. They thought it was funny because my boss in his 60's. Little did they realize that I totally dominate flip cup and helped our team win most of the games. My suit was the perfect cover: they had no idea I'm a legendary partier from Uconn. Plus, I know how to cheat in flip cup in at least two different ways and I employed them both (in drinking games, if you're not cheating, you're not trying).
Then, as my "work day" came to a close, I headed back home and my wife cooked for us corned beef and cabbage (which we both love) for the first time. And it came out pretty good! We're both almost completely Irish-American. There was also Irish soda bread (not as good as my Mom's we both agreed) and carrots.
After that day, now that I'm all old and stuff, I was exhausted and only posted for like 15 minutes last night before zoning out on the couch.
