That should be a great time, Linda. And, if it weren't Professional Drinking Day (with a lot of amateurs thrown in to make it interesting), I would go out. And, I would meet you there, and toast you with a Green Beer.

Hi Ron! Thank you for the laugh! Tampa knows how to celebrate St. Patrick's Day for sure. I will also be attending my niece's 4th birthday party, a very important event, on St. Patrick's Day. I appreciate your kind thoughts and you for stopping by and commenting!

Back in the day as a partying young lad, we hung out a bar that always sold green beer, I could just never bring myself to try it. Looks like it'll be a great event, if you go you'll have to fill us in on the details.

Have an AWESOME day!

Mar 12, 2012 09:51 AM

Hi Michael, I haven't tried green beer either. I think I am more intrigued by seeing the channel dyed green. Thank you for taking the time to comment! I hope you are enjoying an AWESOME day as well!

Hi, Linda.

Years ago I had a roommate who was of Irish Ancestry; he was from New York City. He lived for "St. Patty's Day". The guy went absolutely berzerk on March 17.

He wore green clothes, said Irish sayings, danced some sort of jig, and drank green beer starting at breakfast. He would hit the bars right after lunch. By midnight he needed a designated stretcher.

I miss the guy, and think about him every St. Patrick's Day!

Mar 13, 2012 11:14 AM

Hi Fred! You just reminded me of someone I used to work with that was also had Irish blood. She would take 1/2 day off work, change into her "green clothes" and go celebrating. Thank you for commenting and sharing your St. Patrick's Day memory with me!

Thanks for your post, sounds like I might just have to head over to Ybor from Pinellas, I don't make it over there too often, but you sure make it sound like fun!

Hi Tanja, It is always nice to "meet" a fellow Floridian here in ActiveRain! Pinellas isn't too far away. Thank you for your kind words and for taking the time to comment!
