Happy St. Patrick's Day - RJNorton - 03-11-2013 03:25 PM

Joe Di Cola sent me this graphic to post along with the following message:

"I know I am nearly a week early, but I will be traveling and wanted to get this greeting out to all the Irish and Irish wannabe members of the Lincoln Discussion Symposium from an old Sicilian boy whose own "national" holiday will be on March 19--St. Joseph's Day."

Thank you, Joe!

Joe,

Could you give directions to St. Patrick as to how to come to Maryland and pick up some of the snakes we contend with?

Also, next year come to the Surratt conference in March, and we'll celebrate St. Joseph's Day with some fine Italian wines and meat-a-balls for everyone!

P.S. English/Scotch/French me married a man who was half Italian and half Russian. Trust me, I much prefer Italian food to borsht and pierogies (although I cook the latter with butter, onions, and bacon, and they slide down really well).

Laurie,

I had planned on coming to this year's conference, but my grandson Christian has a lead in his school musical, "School House Rock," so I am off to AZ to take that in. I will plan for 2014.

I prefer Italian reds to Russian vodka, too!

Joe

Congratulations to your grandson. I'd tell him to break a leg for good luck, but around Surratt House broken legs lead to broken necks!

I'm married to my lovely wife over 40 years now. She is half-Irish and ALWAYS right. Hey, now you know why I'm married so long.

I'm Irish/German
And living in the New Haven CT area for 57 years taught me one thing:
the Italians are the only folks who know how to eat right!!

Ah, but the Irish/Germans know how to drink?-at least according to my wife's family!

I love to go to Milwaukee to have dinner at Mader's--great German food. The trouble with German food is that, three weeks later, you are hungry again. And the beer...wunderbar!
