St. Patrick's Day

Had a pleasant evening with good friends last night. Culminating in some rather average dessert, it began quite pleasantly as I enjoyed a pint with Chris and Scott. It is a rather silly holiday in part (the part with silly hats and people in bars and people drunk by noon) but part of it is nice. I think anything that promotes friendship and consuming wonderful things should be encouraged. I suppose anything good can be tainted by hooligans though, so you just cannot expect too much. It was nice to experience it in NYC though, and as long as you avoid the bars with patrons literally spilling out on the streets you can find some nice things. A highlight was Ace Bar, which just happened to be nearly deserted and we were able to enjoy billiards and darts in relative peace. I hope wherever you were that you were able to enjoy at least a bit of it and if not, then take heart because spring is on its way (for more on this subject and a brief excerpt on current trending pop music, please visit my WordPress page).
