St. Patrick's Day

It was a good day of teaching... and being Wednesday it's effectively the end of the week. (Thursday is officially the last day but it's usually just a gathering for coffee or an occasional meeting.)

Yet as good as today was I can't help but feel homesick. St. Patrick's Day is just about the best holiday of the year! The only thing better than St. Patrick's Day that occurs during the first week of NCAA basketball. <-- That's the home run of sports, drinking and hanging out with friends. It doesn't get any better than this.

But alas, on this St. Patrick's Day I'm home... alone... drinking a glass of red wine. **sniffle**
