THE WORLD GOES GREEN WITH ENVY FOR ST. PATRICK'S DAY

Many of my Irish friends tell me that they are surprised as to how much the rest of the world gets excited about St. Patrick's Day.

However, we, who are connected in some way, often tenuous, to the the land of the green, embrace all things Irish, even if it is just for the day.

To this end, take advantage of the wondrous sights on offer, and the discounts, while you can.
