Happy St. Patrick's Day!

I hope everyone is having a great St. Patrick's Day, and not getting pinched! Wear your green! Also- what are you doing reading this blog? You should be out having a green beer!

On a side note: (as if this whole blog isn't a side note)
If you are passing through Terre Haute, Indiana, or would like to get some Irish Stew and a Guinness stop by Sonka Irish Pub! It has to be the BEST Irish Stew I've ever had. This is the spot we used to hang out in college on St. Patrick's Day. They open at 11am today! Definitely worth the drive! Uncle Magoo and Aunt Magoo will be heading there, for their annual tradition! Eat a bowl for me!!!
---------------------------
For all of those Catholics wondering, I found this online about St. Patrick's Day and meat:
"St. Patrick’s Day, March 17, falls this year on a Lenten Friday, a penitential day for Catholics when they do not eat meat or soups and sauces made from meat.

Recognizing that this is a traditional day of celebration for many Catholics and that a person cannot celebrate and do penance at the same time, Archbishop Daniel M. Buechlein has commuted the obligation for Catholics of the archdiocese to abstain from meat on Friday, March 17.

Commutation means that those persons in the archdiocese who wish to eat meat on St. Patrick’s Day are free to do so provided that they abstain from meat on some other day during the week of March 12. †"

Awesome for the Cardinals to let you catholics enjoy Irish stew and stuff.

I'm going to get steak at lunch. And next Friday too. :)
