St. Patrick's Day

I realize today is Valentine's day and everything, but I'm guessing 90% of the people that are reading this blog could either care less, or are scrambling last minute to find something clever, but not too expensive to do tonight. Something about spending a lot of money on a Wednesday night just bothers people (or maybe just me).

Anyway, is it too early to start talking about what we're doing for St. Patrick's day? I know what I'm NOT doing, and that's getting on a plane down to Key West FL to spend a magical evening at Irish Kevin's. Give me a minute...alone please (holding back tears)

Ok, I'm back. Anyway, its a month away, and the glorious day falls on a Saturday this year which is exciting and frightening at the same time. My plan is to obsess over St Patty's this year, and before I know it, the Super Secret Baseball Fun Retreat will sneak up on me in no time. Regardless of what we do, I'd like to make matching t-shirts for everyone that includes numbers on the back.

Let's begin the brainstorm on what we're doing this year. Here's some thought starters from previous St Patrick's day:
- Kirk really really likes green food coloring. He could sit in a corner and play with the stuff for hours.
- We never really found out if Eric would have fit in that Lizard cage. (i still say no)
- Harry Caray really likes hugs from me after a night of drinking.
- Peeing in a Solo cup on a school bus can be challenging and relieving at the same time.
- Like Mardi Gras, people will do almost anything for a set of green plastic beads or a shamrock sticker
- Tricia has killer St. Pat's day parties...that place on Lincoln with the pool tables does not.

Any ideas?


(For any babes reading this, sorry about the v-tines comment. I'm actually spending my evening tonight with a bottle of red, some bon bons, and a little "When Harry Met Sally").
