What started out as a day of feast and celebration for Patrick, the patron saint of Ireland has become a day for people who want to celebrate everything they think is Irish. I for one don't go out on St. Patrick's Day: I don't drink green beer, I don't drink the offensively named "Irish Car Bomb" and I don't dress up like a leprechaun. My father took it pretty seriously as an Irish-American: I will drink a quality stout beer, I will sip some good whiskey, I will listen to some Clancy Brothers, and I will think about my dad.Today's quote is from William Butler Yeats:
"Being Irish, he had an abiding sense of tragedy, which sustained him through temporary periods of joy."
