I'll Beat You With My Shillelagh (Pronounced shi-LAY-lee)


BLARNEY! I'm happy to report that the St. Patty's Day party was a lot of fun. Irish music, a quiz of all things Irish, a limerick writing contest, Irish pictionary, a game of heave-ho, silly prizes, and loads of people dressed in green. Oh yeah, and a whole bunch of green food that I hope did not have a "greening" effect, shall we say, on every one's "digestive systems."
My Limerick for Brian, who was, sadly, absent for the festivities:
(To be read with an Irish brogue)
There was a big doofus named Brian
Couldn't win, but he always was tryin'
He'd argue with me
But the best fighter I be
And our spats always leave him a'cryin'.

I see that you are a Mennonite. I am too and my wife likes to travel so we have visited some of Europe. Ireland was perhaps the most charming but London and what we saw of England was charming in a different way. YOU SHOULDN'T GO TO LONDON WITHOUT BRIAN ! It wouldn't be fair to him.
