St. Patrick's Day

is coming up. It will be my first one in a long time without a carbomb with Brian Hawkins. sniff sniff. Brian, I will think of you. And you too, Kristen, as I curse you for that Pita Jungle stop.

On my way home yesterday, I saw Pioneer Courthouse Square will be having a Shamrock Ale festival next weekend to celebrate. I love that this town marks every holiday with a beer festival. Alas, Ken and I will be in New York for his step-sister's wedding so we'll have to go next year. Hopefully with some of you cactus-heads in tow.
