Happy St Patrick's Day 2024

 

Every year Irish all over the world, and want to bees', celebrate with much enthusiasm the death of the patron saint of Ireland, who died on arch 17. He was rumored to have driven the snake out of Ireland, which would have not been conceivable as there were no snakes in Ireland.

As with all days of recognition, it has gotten to be highly commercialized and as my former, very Irish brothers-in-law would say each year as they stayed away from their favorite drinking spots, 'A Day for the Amateurs, much like New Years Eve.

As the day is Sunday and just maybe a few people recognizing tomorrow is a workday, there will be lots of revelry and many an adult beverage consumed, some to excess but hopefully, the fun will be remembered.

Anyway, for those that will go out to celebrate, here are a few Irish Toasts: 

  • God invented whiskey so the Irish wouldn't rule the world!
  • I'll have what the man on the floor's having!
  • May we get what we want, May we get what we need, But may we never get what we deserve. -Cedric
  • Here's to the wine we love to drink, and the food we like to eat. Here's to our wives and sweethearts, let's pray they never meet. Here's champagne for our real friends And real pain for our sham friends. And when this life is over, may all of us find peace.
  • In all this world, why I do think There are five reasons why we drink: Good friends, good wine, lest we be dry and any other reason why.

The adder this year is the enthusiasm the world has for the NCAA Championships, so in addition to toasting the green, many a fan will be cheering for their team to make the tournament and have a chance of a long run.

Nina Hollander, Broker    I grew up in a 99% Irish neighborhood and not far from the Hibernian's Hall, which was wild on this day and many others as well. I also heard a few that I cannot share here.  Enjoy the day.

Michael Elliott    If you're someplace safe, enjoy one for me as I don't drink.

Hello Ed  and have my green on today and have the food all ready to put in my Air fryer for dinner tonight.  Happy St. Patrick Day!

Will Hamm   I barely have a touch of green on but my wife has threatened with corned beef and cabbage.

Ed Silva, 203-206-0754: My awesome neighbor just stopped by with a plate of corn, beef, cabbage, potatoes, a side salad, and a slice of cake - how lucky am I!  Happy Saint Paddy's Day

Ed, it is rather fun to be Irish, if only for a few days a year.    Meeting up with some girlfriends tomorrow, guess I should wear green.

Ed Silva, 203-206-0754 - your first paragraph echoed exactly what I heard during the sermon yesterday. Your brother-in-law is wise. I don't participate in those foolish festivities either. It pays to be responsible. 

But I do love good humor and you humored me this morning! We all need to loosen up the grip of holding others in our own mind's contempt of court that nobody else knows or cares about. 

When people start accusing, I don't cry. I wonder why they haven't grown up and matured beyond the mind of a Junior or High School student. 

It is the day after, and I'm wishing you Happy Days!!!

George Souto   I don't have any green and no longer even have the color with envy.  Hope you enjoyed the day.

Roy Kelley, Thank you for the thoughts.  I trust you enjoyed the day as well.

I hope that you had a wonderful St. Patrick's Day, perhaps you were able to get in a round of golf and a green beer at the 19th hole, haha.

John Pusa   Thank you for the good wishes, we enjoyed the day in our own way, very quietly.

Hannah Williams  Good for you as the smell of cooked cabbage permeates for a long time.

Joyce Marsh   Thank you.  I hope your day was pleasant and if you worked, successful.

Wanda Kubat-Nerdin - Wanda Can!   A party at the Silo would have been great and the day to relax and enjoy the meal just as nice.

Kathy Streib   WE should find out after the pollsters complete their survey. Don't forget to vote when you see it in your email.

Joan Cox   If you can't find the green not to fret, just don't wear loud colors.

Patricia Feager, MBA, CRS, GRI,MRP   The one that spoke that really wasn't that wise, just didn't like a rowdy place to enjoy a beer or three.

Brian England  Still too early for golf in our area and as I don't drink, it would have been water or a Gatorade to replace the electrolytes.

Oops, I forgot that in some areas golf is not a year-round sport, haha.

I don't spend a lot of effort celebrating this holiday. I spent the day preparing for and hosting an open house.
