I almost forgot. Today is St. Patrick’s Day.

Oy, shoot me. I actually forgot that today is St. Patrick’s Day. This is an easy oversight here in Texas because nobody’s Irish, but I grew up in Chicago and in Chicago EVERYBODY’S IRISH ON ST. PATRICK’S DAY including nice Jewish girls from the northern suburbs like yours truly.

The city even dyes the Chicago River green every year just in case cheap beer, stupid hats and a big parade on Michigan Avenue aren’t enough to make you feel like an immigrant.

Thank you and please enjoy your holiday.
