Happy St. Patrick's Day

To those who would ask, "What law would you pass if you could?" I always have two responses:

1. Make Opening Day for baseball a national holiday.

2. Eliminate all other holidays (not the time off, just the holidays), save Thanksgiving and St. Patrick's day.

Christmas has become more trouble than it's worth. I find myself going to sleep early on New Year's. Valentine's in tolerable, but expensive. Easter is fattening. The Fourth of July is sweaty and an interminable wait for the fireworks. Halloween is fattening.

President's Day, Memorial Day, and Labor Day are times off from work with nothing else special. Perfect.

Tonight, time to hoist a tall one to Nanny and Pop-pop.
