Micah 6:8
Numbers 21:4-9 Acts 28:1-6
Yes, your life matters.
We all are still sheltering in place, but I'm here to keep you sane and entertained.
One could hardly ask for much more than that, now could one?
Today is St. Patrick's Day - the day for the wearing of the Orange. Have an orange beer tonight!
In parallel, it's also Corned Beef and Cabbage Day (who knew that was a day?), and we'll be participating in that celebration tonight. I'm not clear on how corned beef - a staple of the deli scene - became part of an Irish celebration. Perhaps the Irish in New York and Boston stopped at the deli after their celebration for a sandwich to clear their heads. That's as likely as any other story we're going to hear.
For example, there's the charming tale that St. Patrick used the pickling brine from making a corned beef as part of his snake chasing arsenal. I'm thinking that's probably apocryphal, but it could be as true as any other part of that story.
At any rate, enjoy yourself responsibly. Try not to get any green dye on yourself (where it will show), nor any orange dye for that matter.
Sláinte!
Keep Calm and Stay Away.
I'll be back tomorrow.
