Hey, Happy St. Patrick's Day, but take it from someone who is Irish on all sides of the family: it is very, very uncool to get drunk on St. Patrick's Day. That's not cool, that's just embarrassing. Intead, scroll to U2, Van Morrison, Sinead O'Connor and The Chieftans on your iPod shuffle, go to an Irish restaurant, have some shepherd's pie, maybe a couple slices of Irish Soda Bread, the kind with lots of raisins and carroway seeds, like my Aunt Jo Varley, originally from Roscommon used to make, add some butter on top, and drink a pint of Guinness Stout like its a glass of vintage fine wine. That's Irish! Enjoy!
