St Patrick's Day has always been one of my favorite days of the year. I enjoy celebrating and embracing my partial celtic heritage. Green has always been my favorite colour. I have always wished to be in Boston or Savannah, Ga on this date to witness the parades and festivities or for that matter Dublin! I have to be careful though, anytime I cross the pond, it makes it even less likely that I want to come back...

I don't have any special plans today, but hope to at least grab dinner and a few drinks after work this evening, perhaps with a friend.

I dug around for some of my favorite Gaelic proverbs to share:

Cùm do chù ri leigeadh.
Hold back your dog till the deer falls.

Is math an sgàthan sùil caraide.
A friend’s eye is a good looking-glass.

Gluais faicilleach le cupan làn.
Go carefully with a full cup.

Nuair a bhíonn an t-ól istigh, bíonn an chiall amuigh. When the drink is in, the sense is out.

What a nice day this turned out to be. Indeed!
After work, I went on a hike with my friend Matt Squire/Linder Point Loop at the Coralville Reservoir. We had a nice dinner at Red's Alehouse. I must be a "regular" there, as we got a table in no time on a super-busy night. :) Dinner, as always was good, and so was the company!

My day ended with me laughing my butt off to this link that Mark sent me.

Recently, I haven't had so many good days, but today was a notable exception. I'm hoping for more days like this.
