St. Patrick Day....

So Happy St. Patrick Day to

all those who are Irish, and

to all those who want to be.

And there are a lot of those who

want to be.. even see the shirts,

"I am Italian, but today I am Irish".

or what ever nationality they are.

Some say nothing but enjoy the

joy of beer and partying.

The Irish are a proud group.

And full of laughter. But those

who know Irish history, know

there were a lot of bad times.

Hard times. But they are strong.

I can remember if we did not

wear green in school we got

pinched... something to do with

some King in England.  And

those who were brave enough

to wear orange, really got pinched

hard.  Something about that King

being the King of Orange.. what

ever that meant.  After googling

some of it.. seems his name was

William III also know William of

Orange, as he and wife were the

rulers over Scotland, Ireland as

well as England..  well, you can

go google it as it gets kind of

complicated.. as he was also

known as William, the silent and etc.
