In Denver it was a drunken blur of green. The holiday doesn’t seem to mean much unless you drink or are in Elementary school.

They say it best in Boondock Saints “C’mon man, its Saint Patty’s day. Everyone is Irish.” Well not here in PR. I almost forgot it was even St Patrick’s day until I logged into Myspace a couple minutes ago. (Yeah, that’s sad). I went to the Wallgreens up the street yesterday and they had all of their Easter stuff out. The only green was in pastel. Talk about sad face. St Patty’s is one of my favorite holidays,  just above Xmas and right below Halloween.

I went into that very same Wallgreens at about 9 am on Valentines Day. The place was a mad house. Everyone in line was buying either teddy bears or chocolate.  They seem to observe all of the same holidays here (except for St. Patty’s). When we did first move here in January, we noticed many business didn’t take down their decorations until the beginning of February . I would have thrown a fit or two if that happened in Ut.

Anyways,  here is to Saint Patty’s Day (takes a sip of Paulo Veijo rum).
