Hi Roy, I left that area (Linthicum), ~6 years ago, but I remember their affection for ethnic holidays.  Have fun!

Ahhhh... it's that time of year when there are only two kinds of people... those who are Irish, and those who wish they were.  Happy St Paddy's Day !

Roy, this reminds me of watching 30 Rock last night.  They did St. Patrick's Day in New York.  The Gaithersburg version is far more civilized!

It is sometimes a good practice to revisit old blogs and reblogs. We might even find some good ideas for current posts.
