Póg Mo Thón


For those of you who don't speak Irish, that means Kiss My Ass (thanks Trish).  I say that in honor of it being one of the most fun days of the year, St Patrick's Day, directed towards the city of London.  I have never been more disappointed in a celebration of St Patrick's day in my life!  There is not much going on!  I am going out to an irish bar tonight, but its very underwhelming.  In DC, there is a month long build up to the celebration.  Here not so much. 

The good thing that is happening is that its about 65 degrees and sunny.  So sunny that I am, in fact, getting sunburnt through the window next to my desk.  That sounds about right for a day that I am celebrating my pasteyness.

Well, if it makes you feel better, almost everyone here is being lame. My plans tonight consist of drinking Jameson straight from the bottle and watching The Boondock Saints in my boxers.

Although, I did do Shamrock Fest on Saturday- wish you could have been there!

Is that a literal translation; has your Uncle Jack weighed in yet? Sorry the day isn't living up to your expectations but you do have high standards. Fear not, their annual bad-teeth celebration is coming up soon and I'm sure that will be much more festive.
