Top Of The Morning To Ya

 I'm originally from Clevleand, Ohio, which ranked one of the top 20 cities with longest running St Patty's Day Parade. Cleveland's tradition started in 1867, and is one of the few cities to actually have a parade on St. Patrick's Day. I'm not Irish, I wish I was. Those aren't just clever shirts either. I truly wish I were. I did however marry into a huge proud-to-be-Irish family. They certainly know how to get after it. I don't know many mothers who wake you up on St. Patrick's Day with a big bowl of Jamison. The thought still makes my stomach retract in disgust. They also drink Red Breast on the rocks. Oy!  I'm not tough enough to handle it  so I stick to what does it for me. Guinness. I can drink this stuff all year round, it's that good. But, today, I drink in honor of Saint Patrick's Day and for my family.  Cheers!
