Saint Paddys day

In the land of the red, white and blue we are green for just one day.  We support the Land of Celts most all the time in our thoughts, our history, our movies and even in our psyche. For instance our thoughts are in the seeing of Ireland as a place we can go and enjoy a vacation as we would going to the land our forefathers home; our history is intertwined with Ireland is as Boston, Chicago and New York are; Our movies  support this when you think about  the 50's "The Quiet Man" and lately "P.S. I love you" and as far as the deep parts of our soul we have the luck of the Irish or the Irish coffee...thats real deep for me anyway.
 I was always kindred with the melting pot of our national soul which defiantly includes Irish standards that I always enjoy such as green beer and Corn beef and cabbage not just this day every year but because it is part of my life. Always has been and always will be. I love the Celtics, the Red Sox, Fighting Irish, Dropkick Murphy's, The Chieftains and the rest. Tell you the truth it's the people of Ireland themselves that are in the soul of the US. http://history1800s.about.com/od/irelandinthe1800s/tp/irishhistory1800s.htm
The reason for that is the contribution that these fine people have made to our collective gene pool. Come in now, with the Americans of their times laughing in their collective faces they came and worked hard and learned how to fit in and make the US a better place, for all of us.
So for all this and more than I could even mention in this blog, thank you for everything. Thank you for the past present and future for all of those who have been good citizens and for the day that helps me to remember all that!
If I pass you on the road stop at Peets, because you are buying...the Irish coffee that is.
