St. Patrick's Day in Savannah can only be described as insanity. Yesterday driving in to work, they already had squares along the parade route blocked off and I counted 36 port-a-potties (not to mention I was behind a truck that was carrying 9 more...) They used to dye the entire river green. (They didn't last year, maybe they will this year?) I think for many, this might be considered a spiritual mecca.
Yesterday I was feeling pretty bitter toward St. Patrick and his day. I have to work today while 300,000 drunk people make it impossible for me to take my normal route, adding a good 30 minutes on my commute home. But what I didn't know about this day was that Corona, in order to commerate Patrick, made specialty light up rings in the shape of shamrocks. [Thank you waiter at Sticky Fingers for giving me one!] So today, as I sit here while everyone's out having a good time, I will hit my ring and make it light up to spread some Patrick cheer in my own way. I saw another one laying on the bar as we were paying and I used MY sticky fingers to get it for The Yankee. The power is ours. :)
Today, on this fake St. Patrick's Day, I leave you with this Irish wish...
May the saddest day of your future be no worse than the happiest day of your past.
