St-Paddy's Day: Random Observations

1.- (9:47). I am really hoping that I hear a band cover 'Kiss Me, I'm Shitfaced' bt the Dropkick Murphys.

2.- (9:55) Starting off the day with green tea at Bridgehead on Bank Street. The count: four people with laptops or tablets; three people studying the old-fashioned way (books and paper); two of us using smart phones and two people (out of 16) actually speaking to one another.

3.- (10:44) Still stalled at Bridgehead, courtesy of buddy who slept in. He does not know this yet, but he's picking up at least the first two rounds.

4.- (11:09). First gods-awful Great Big Sea song of day. ('Lukie's Boat'. Stupid Lukie.)

5.- (11:11) First Guinness of the day. (Darcy's).

6.- (13:59) Stupid drunken trickster gods.

7.- (14:58). Ooh! Celtic version of 'All Along the Watchtower'!

8.- (16:14) We have hit the stage in the day when it is just basically a cover band playing. If they know something Irish/Celtic, it is a bonus.

9.- (16:38). Woo hoo! Celtic Bob Marley!

10.- (17:35). On St-Paddy's, you are supposed to wear green. Well, the requisite Green Rider fan showed up wearing a Sask Roughrider t-shirt. Every St-Paddy's, there's always one of them.

11.- (18:11) Dammit, GBS again. Really, Lukie, enough with your boat.

12,- (19:26) The following comments may not be coherent.

13.- (19:57). Nine hours of drinking. Hypothetically, if someone would have started drinking at 11. AM.

  1. Ah....Paul, you are now going to have to get used to a regular follower. I grew up with a da that is a liverpudlian...and he spends St. Pats giving me shamrock plants and dictating that Liverpool is the capital of Ireland (my university years). Fun times. Having said that, since my husband owns a bar, it's handy having a place you can't really get kicked out of on March 17th. Even if you have to hide in the basement.
