Happy St. Patrick's Day everyone! This is actually my favorite holiday, of all holidays, and not because of the drunken debauchery - though that is fun too.
It's because of my family, for us it's always been a family holiday with extra importance to my dad all of which makes it extra special to me.
We celebrated yesterday with our traditional corned beef and cabbage meal, singing and dancing to Irish songs and a viewing of Darby O'Gill and the Little People. Once an annual tradition, we all realized that we had not watched this movie in years. It has all the wonderful craziness of a Disney movie made in 1959 - including an incredibly young and gorgeous Sean Connery. Though, truth be told, he was not the star of the film. The true star is the former Irish stage actor who plays Darby - he is incredible and his laugh is contagious. If you can embrace crazy in a movie and enjoy it, I highly recommend it!
All that said, there were a lot of strangers on my work today deserving of a pinch! Don't worry I restrained myself...barely.
