An Irish aviator was getting worried being overdue, and not being able to find the air base in rapidly deteriorating weather.
"Lord,"he prayed,"I can't stand this.If you direct me to the nearest air base,I swear I'll give up drinking me whiskey, and I promise to go to church every Sunday."
Suddenly, the clouds broke, and the sun shone brightly on a large air base below.
Without hesitation, the aviator said,"Never mind, I found one."
Happy St Patricks Day!!

Same to you
I'm all ready for the party----friends arrive about 5 and the corned beef and cabbage will be ready at 6
I even picked up a selection of Irish beers--including Guinness.

Just a word of caution----if you ever find a shamrock---or a four leaf clover---don't put it in a book----you don't want to press your luck

just curious, do you corn your own beef, or get it already done? i'm trying to perfect my corned beef recipe so i'm always interested in finding out about other peoples versions
and by the way, i enjoyed your clover joke
it's time to change the air in my head

I have to admit I buy corned beef
One thing that makes me do that is the price---my store always has a big sale on before St Patty's day and I got a point cut yesterday for $3.49/lb. Next week they will be even less and I will pick up one for the freezer.
As for the Stoudt---I'm not sure that I will even have one---that is pretty "stoudt" stuff

Mmmm... Guinness. I Fell in love with the 264-year-old dark brew back in my bar/nightclub days. Surprisingly, it's one of the healthier beers to drink, if one drinks beer. Alas, I no longer do.
On, and TG, there's nothing more beautiful than our warbirds. Thank you for showing them.

I did have a Guinness last night. I haven't had one in years but it was very nice---I enjoyed it as well as the dinner and the company---thank you Saint Patrick for a reason to celebrate
