We've been having a wonderful St. Patrick's Season here in Kansas City! It all started with a black tie dinner honoring Joe Cahill and Marie Moore for their efforts for a Re-united Ireland. We have begun our efforts for this summer when we bring children over from Ireland for our Children For Peace Program, and then just today, we've honored the very first Kansas City Policeman who was killed in the line of duty, Martin Hynes. He was shot at the White House Saloon, which was at the current sight of the busiest intersection in downtown KC, in 1881. We found some of his surviving family and brought them here to help us pay homage to Martin's duty. A plaque now honors him and finally tells his story. Then tomorrow, there will be a series of breakfasts and brunches followed by our St. Patrick's Day parade. I can't wait - we're the first group steppin off right after the Grand Marshall.
Happy Thanksgiving one and all. I too will be in the KC parade tomorrow and if I had planned ahead all of my cooking would have been done and I'd be sleeping right now. But instead, I'm waiting on bread to finish baking.
Cheers

Well here's my St Paddy's post (and yet naother one to raise my slowly raising rank).
MDF, birthday on the 14th?! Cool. My soon to be 5 year old son, and my soon to be 4 year old daughter, are both born on the 14th! (Yep, 1 year apart...within the same hour!).
Happy St. Patrick's Day, y'all!

Feliz Dia a todos. Not really celebrating St. Patrick's day down here, but starting friday we will start celebrating the feast of San José in the little town I live in. We need more then one day to do it right though so the festival goes all through the weekend with lots of drinking, and eating and dances and cantadera and tamboritos and tunas and drinking, and parades (you ain't seen a parade until you see one down here), and drinking and dancing and then Sunday evening the queen will be crowned in a big ceremony.
Anyone wanna come by just drop me a line.

By the way, in the course of all that I will raise a glass to you all and snort one for the old saint as well.

I will give you an example which I have often puzzled over. The spider dances her web without knowing there are flies who will get caught in it. The fly, dancing nonchalantly on a sunbeam, gets caught without knowing what lies in store. But through both of them "It" dances and inside and outside are united in this dance. So too, the Archer hits the target without having aimed - more I cannot say.
