Did you survive another St. Patrick’s Day? Me, I didn’t partake in the revelry, although while sitting at home I did enjoy a nice pint of Guinness—possibly two—which I poured and imbibed with extra mindfulness; St. Patrick’s Day of course being an occasion for those of us with Irish heritage to reflect upon our history and where we came from. share: Recommend on Facebook Share [continue…]
