Yes, I know what day it is - 17 March 2022 - Plague Journal Day 735

Micah 6:8
Genesis 3:13-15
Yes, your life matters.

Some of you are still sheltering in place, but fear not: I'm here to keep you sane and entertained.
One could hardly ask for much more than that, now could one?

Yes, I do know it's St. Patrick's Day. In fact, I even know that on 17 March 1762 the first St. Patrick’s Day Parade in NYC took place. It's a celebration with a long history.


So how do I celebrate? Generally I do the same things as everyone else: I drink some Guinness, eat some corned beef, and wear my orange sweater. Perhaps I'll even grab a Nesbitt's Orange Soda Pop, if I can find one anywhere - I don't know if it's even being made these days.


Oh, perhaps finishing the day with a nice Irish Coffee would be nice. Ahh, the Dew!
You're welcome for the suggestion.

Keep Calm and Don't Stay Away.
I'll be back tomorrow.

Get Your Gael On! - 25 January 2021 - Plague Journal Day 319

Micah 6:8
Luke 14:12-24
Yes, your life matters.

We all are still sheltering in place, but I'm here to keep you sane and entertained.

There's a gael warning today, folks. Not only is it National Irish Coffee Day (and please, enjoy responsibly, and only with Tullamore Dew or Proper Twelve), but it's also Burns Night!

How could one day contain the confluence of both Irish Coffee and tha' Prince o' Puddings? How indeed!? The mind fairly boggles at the Celtic overflow. Nonetheless, it's time to celebrate with our Irish and Scots friends, so eat up and drink up, folks - you know it's good for you to enjoy life. So Sláinte and Slàinte! (It seems to work in both flavours of Gaelic, although the accent mark changes - not actually speaking the language(s), I can't give any real reason for the difference, but there is is.)


Keep Calm and Stay Away.
I'll be back tomorrow.
