I will stereotype in a different way then. All the folks that I have met from Ireland have a warm heart and a quick wit and a beautiful complexion and an easy smile. And that goes for all of my dear friends whose parents came from the old country and have passed these endearing traits down.

A few of my friends of Irish descent like a cold drink on a hot day. One of my Irish friends who I play golf with every week is such a joy to my heart that just being around her for a few hours is a wonderful thing.

Just love you MaryB.

But....this brings us to an important issue, debated over the years.

Did St. Patrick really drive all of the snakes from the Emerald Isle?
