"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).
