Happy St. Paddy's Day

I've participated in the "wearing of the green" today so I wouldn't be deserving of a pinch. Hopefully you're having a happy Saint Patrick's Day.

Here are some of my favorite things related to the Irish theme.


1. My wife and I enjoy a local Irish pub in Franklin, called McCreary's. I like the fish & chips. I doubt we go today, but perhaps you'll enjoy it sometime. It's located on main street in downtown Franklin.

2. I like green. With a name like Forrest I should huh? So what if the name is English and not Irish - it's not like they don't get along with each other.

3. Far and Away - I know Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman are no more an item, but I remember watching this movie in Mrs. Ramsey's theater class in 11^th grade to learn about Irish accents. That was the best class ever.

4. Irish Songs - Why can't Americans sit around and sing fun ditties together? Spare us the karaoke and let's all sound horrible together.

5. Lucky Charms - It's still one of my favorite cereals. My best memory is when they added the purple horseshoe.

What's your favorites?
