Slainte!

I'll listen to an Irish song today. That's about the extent of my involvement


Everybody's Irish on St. Patrick's Day!


And everybody's Mexican on Cinco de Mayo. It's just another foreign day of note that Americans have turned into an excuse to get faced. Pretty soon, we'll all be Russian and celebrate "Consolidation Day" by drinking Vodka on November 4th. Na Zdorovie!

Anyway...since I'm actually not of Irish heritage, and was never a polytheist needing to be converted to Christianity by a shamrock-toting bishop (If you have no idea what I'm talking about, it wouldn't surprise me, But It Would Make Me A Little Sad), I don't really need to celebrate St. Patrick's Day by wearing green. Given my ridiculously pale complexion and blue eyes, I don't look good in green anyway. What I will do is enjoy some Irish music...so please enjoy the Auto-harp stylings of Marc Gunn singing Star Of The County Down. There's your Irish bit from me for the day. That's it...you probably won't find me out drinking green-tinted beer at a dump bar tonight...sorry.


You will also not find me in the office tomorrow, since I'll be taking a vacation day. Enjoy the weekend, everyone!


Jeremy Is In The Office will be Out of the Office tomorrow, 3/18 and returning on monday 3/21 with all new Sametimey action. See you all then!
