- No blarney, honest: You can look it up on Amazon.com or someplace else on the Internet if you don’t believe me. There’s a CD called “The Best Bagpipe Moments Ever.” I know you won’t believe this part, but there are 35 songs on it! I only bring it up because St. Patrick’s Day is Thursday.
- In the old days on the old sod, fighting Irishmen (is there any other kind?) used a type of bagpipe called the Great Irish War Pipe to scare opponents on the battle field. It worked then; it would still work today!
- Since Lent started last Wednesday, I guess Easter-Bunny hunting season is officially under way. You can get your Easter-Bunny hunting license at any chocolatier.
- Here’s how to make the NCAA basketball tournament finish faster, maybe even in March: Make the Big East Tournament one of the brackets.
- Until there were railroads, people used to have to live near rivers because they were the only reliable means of transportation. However, if you move to Wayne New Jersey these days and are surprised when the area floods, you haven’t been paying attention and it’s your own damned fault. Or maybe it’s your dammed fault. I don’t know which.
- Beware of spell checkers. A landscaper with customers in our neighborhood passed out good looking, professionally printed cards looking for costumers. I’m pretty sure he doesn’t want someone to dress his crew and him in fancy clothes. Perhaps he’s really looking for customers and relied too much on a computerized spell checker.
- Our son will be in China on his birthday, so before he left, his mother gave him his birthday present. Our daughter is going to China in less than two weeks to visit her brother and before she leaves, her mother is giving her a birthday present too, even though she’ll be back home three months before her birthday.
- And speaking of birthdays, March 15th is my oldest friend Jeff’s birthday. How old are Jeff and I? I am not going to tell you, but I will say that neither of us can remember when we met and became friends.
