Today I had lunch with my best friend, but it was at a beach restaurant -- nothing St. Patty's related. I am half Irish, and would like to be doing something St. Patty related today.
When I was a kid we went to the St. Patrick's Day parade a few times. My mother loved to go to parades down in the city (NYC) and took us to quite a few. We stopped going as often as I got older becase my parents said there were way too many drunks there. I remember being very shocked to hear them say that to us, about drunks, and I guess that's why I remember it to this day! They said it to all 4 of us, but I was the youngest and I guess I hadn't hear that word very often.
