Irish stepdancers. Pints of Kilkenny topped with foamy shamrocks. Face-painted kids. Knee-socked bagpipers. Bright green porkpie hats. Pale-skinned men and women of a 'certain age' singing along to a rain-soaked band performing Irish classics. All within walking distance for Aradhna and I at the Mean Fiddler on this St. Patrick's Day.
Most importantly -- Happy Birthday to Joseph Patrick Wall Sr of Port St Lucie, Florida. My namesake. My friend. My dad. Wish he was here to share the shot of Tullamore Dew thrown back in his honor. Maybe next year .........
