What are your plans for St. Patty's Day?

[foggymountain]

Will have a very conservative two drinks today in honor of the Irish.

 

[dread]

Will smoke Peterson tobacco, otherwise a normal day.

Happy Birthday Bradley! Well, I was born on this day as well, only in 1958. I suppose I should have taken this day off but I took last Sat off (since it was my wife's birthday, and I work on Saturdays). Some years you just don't feel like doing anything special, and this is one of those years. Did have a great day yesterday over at my daughter and son-in-law's house with a couple of other of my kids and two grandsons. So that was our St. Paddy day's celebration.

Happy Birthday Bradley and DaveinTexas!
Not doing much. I plan on having a Guinness after dinner tonight and smoke a Filthy Hooligan. It's an Alec Bradley Black Market cigar with a candela (green) wrapper. After that it will be a bowl of University Flake in a Peterson, just do not know which one yet.

For all you fellow Irish Cat-o-licks, tomorrow you are exempt from Lent. I did not know this until out of sheer desperation realizing I'd given up alcohol for lent and looking for a loophole I came to find out that it's okay to break lent for the day.

I also found out you are allowed to break lent on Sunday's

This resulted in me having too many beers after midnight last night and being too tired for Mass in the morning :{ Oh well, this is what confession is for.

My father, God Bless his soul, was a WW2 veteran and lost both of his eyes in St. Lou after the D-Day invasion and an avid Catholic who always gave up drinking during Lent (he loved his beer, as do I). I fondly remember him staying up on Easter Saturday and staying up until just past 12:00 midnight when Lent would be over to have one beer, and then hit the sack as he knew that he had to attend mass for Easter the following day.
As for St. Patrick ’s Day I consider that somewhat akin to New Years Eve and leave that up to the young amateurs in their 20’s & 30’s to overly imbibe. Been there… done that, and at age 67 I’m over it. Not the drinking, but over doing it, much less doing so at the local pub.
As the old adage goes; ‘Wisdom comes with age, but sometimes age comes alone’. I’m slowly (hopefully) leaning more towards the wisdom side with past experiences.

Happy Birthday Old Cajun. Having some cabbage . . .

A relaxing evening with dear friends, a great dinner of corned beef with all the trimmings, some fine portables, and first smoke in my 2014 St. Patrick's Day pipe.
Happy birthday, Brad.

St. Patty's day is done. Had a great time, with friends, smoking and eating corned beef, potatoes, cabbage, pie, and lots of Guinness. My wife smoked a little pre-republic Peterson apple, and I smoked my BPL Abby Shannon with appropriate tobaccos, and I even wore my Kennedy family crest t-shirt too. I'm feeling mellow now, and thinking about what crap I can post tomorrow.

By the way, my wife later smoked her new Stanwell 939/410 that I made for her, and pronounced it the best pipe she's ever smoked. (of course this was after imbibing in some Irish liquid) :roll:

Cheers everyone, hope you had a great St. Patty's day too!

I took the family out to dinner and went to bed early. St. Paddy's Day is not as fun when it falls on a week night. And for the record, Patty is a woman.
