where's the craic?

Happy St. Patrick's day everyone!  I am very nostalgic today.  Living in Boston and of course in Dublin spoiled the 1/2 part Irishy stuff in me!  In Boston we never felt too old to find ourselves in Faneuil Hall or on Boylston St to celebrate in a very collegiate style.  I'm pretty sure at age 24 I was at Lir after work wearing my Irish flag as a cape... it's fine?

This picture is from when Lizzie and Toni came to visit me for St. Patrick's Day weekend in Dublin.  We started the day at the parade, watched some rugby and ended up dancing the night away until some absurd hour of the morning at a club in Dublin.  Brilliant craic.

This year I will be going home after work only to sign into a remote meeting with my US colleagues (9 hours behind me so at least I can safely guess they won't be drinking yet) and then who knows... dinner with grandma? Watch Friends?  My life is pathetic but I love it just the same. :)

On second thought... albeit Danish, the Irish drink a TON of Carlsberg... I'm sure I could drink one or two in honor of them tonight! ;)
