pve: feeling green

feeling green

Guinness Store sign (wikipedia)

Thought each of you would get a chuckle out of this sign which pretty much sums up today.

Yes, my birthday is today, and I am not even one wee bit Irish, well, I do have a son with reddish hair, does that count? It is St. Paddy's day, and "Everyone's Irish on March 17th."

Join me as I wear a little green, do a little jig, parade in a little parade and maybe even sip a little green. Green tea sounds nice.

Thanks for all your bloggy birthday wishes!
