FeelingHopeful and Stumpy, do you think your "downess" is due to the hype that goes with the holiday in the US? The hype here is that everyone's a little bit Irish on St Patrick's Day and you're supposed to party 'til you puke drinking green beer and making an @ss of yourself.
Did you know that in Ireland the day is treated as a religious holiday - ya know SAINT Patrick's Day?
I heard an Irishman on NPR this week who, in a diplomatic Irish way, said that the Irsh do not celebrate the way Americans do.
