Green

Yesterday was St. Patrick's Day. I didn't wear green or drink green beer but I did manage to co-host a corned beef and cabbage dinner for eleven. In addition to a number of short, round, red-nosed Irishmen, the 15 pounds of corned beef and large quantities of Baliey's Comets (mix 3 parts Bailey's to 1 part Irish Mist) helped to make the evening most enjoyable.

After cleaning up, I took a trip over to the PPGBigList. I don't go there often but I clicked my way over and started sorting through the latest ration of garbage.

I was not happy (but also not surprised) to read about the situation at P. What this portends for the convention is, thankfully, not a concern for the Parastars.

What I was concerned about was M. using P's predicament to attack J. I do not know M. but was amazed at how twisted his opinions seemed. Did M. stop and read the incredibly long list of things that he was claiming J. was using for his personal gain? Wow, if I could participate in half of those things - let alone be able to actively contribute to all of them - I would be pretty damn impressed with myself.

In the spirit of the holiday, I am green with envy over all of the things that J. does to support this sport. There are few who are capable of the continuous level of commitment that J. has provided. In my opinion, if J. ends up rolling in the green because of his efforts, he has certainly worked hard enough to have earned it.

Top o' the mornin' to ya.
