No Guinness No soda bread- Coeliac diagnosis has sucked the life out of it- To be fair I miss malt vinegar more than anything Sunday morning FA cup match will lift the spirits I hope- Come on you mighty reds!

Just a fan who got a short waive radio back 1978-79. I used to get the matches from south africa via the BBC- I was a glory hunter before I knew what a glory hunter was

...that I'll be able to spend with my son!!! It will also be the first St. Pat's with my DIL. She bought a St. Pat's t-shirt and we've painted our nails matching orange. I also bought her one of those silly plastic hats with all the glitter. She loves American holidays more than I do! She looks like a little Japanese leprechaun.

We'll start off with corned beef/cabbage and potatoes, then offta hear some friends bands play downtown...if that damned storm doesn't dump a foot of snow on my head.

It was back in the day. Now it's just too crowded, too expensive. Even if you buy wristbands you're still not guaranteed entry to all shows...BUT there are always some amazing free shows, showcases of new talent, and "off the books" shows- that's the fun stuff!

I've always had a very low tolerance for exposure to them. It sounds like two doesn't cats in heat in the back of a Yugo or something. Just not my bag of weed if you know what I mean.

I'm not so much looking forward to the party as I am to be going with a girl I've been seeing. She invited me to go along with her.

We got a bottle for Thanksgiving and everyone thought it was smooth but had quite the kick. I'm not the biggest whiskey drinker but I really enjoyed it. Sláinte!

Then maybe going out, but not because it's St. Patrick's Day. I'll probably get out of work early, which is rare, so going to go and enjoy it!
