Green and Luck and Blah Blah Blah

Thoughts on St. Patrick's Day:

• Why is there not a traditional sweet treat associated with St. Patrick's Day like there is with every other holiday?  I feel we're missing out on something here.
• 11 years ago today I was in Dublin watching drunk 12 year olds puking in a park.  I've prefered taking my St. Patrick's Days in the good ol' non-pre-teen drinking USA since then.
• Why is it that there are adults who feel the need to pinch other adults today if they're not wearning green?  I mean, really?  Isn't the official cut-off in, like, 4th grade?
• Does anyone else always think of Harrison Ford today because of that part in "The Fugitive" where he ducks into the St. Patrick's Day parade to hide from Tommy Lee Jones' character?  Or is that just me?
• One of my goals is to get this little fella dressed up as a leprechaun one year.  Then I will take him around and charge people to take pictures with him.  You know it will be a hit.
