St. Patrick's Day

Well, once again Lá Féile Padraig rolls around, the national festival of Ireland, in which we honour a Welshman (or maybe a Roman) who we kidnapped and who subsequently hated the place enough to force us all to convert to Christianity.

I will point you to waider's very fine memo on the subject of St. Patrick's Day.

I haven't had my vaguely traditional bowl of snake soup this year, as my parents, who are vegetarians, were visiting. Perhaps over the weekend.
