By the way, I'm Italian, so I don't celebrate St. Pattie's Day. Yes, I know everyone is Irish on St. Patrick's Day, except the Italians and the gays, according to Kent Brockman on the Simpsons. (I had a few Irish friends, growing up in Melrose, and one of my friends' grandpas hated Italians so she never told him my last name.) But happy St. Pattie's to the Irish among us. M loves corned beef and cabbage.
