Cliffs of Moher

The Cliffs of Moher, in County Clare, Ireland.

It’s that day again. Another year, another Guinness or two or three. I won­der some­times what old Saint Patty would make of his hol­i­day being used for fun and friv­o­lity, and more than a lit­tle bit of liq­uid spir­its. Did he drink in his monastery, or out and about in his walks across Ireland? Possibly so. He may have needed more than a lit­tle help, chas­ing away all of those snakes and demons. And it may have helped him explain to the Irish how the con­cept of the Trinity was like the Irish Shamrock, as he did on occasion.

Regardless, drink a toast for me and you and all our broth­ers and sis­ters in this life, at least.

The offi­cial site of the St Patrick Festival in Dublin is here.
