St Patrick's Day 2007

St Patrick's Day.

In the hashing world its the mecca of holidays. As an American hasher of Irish descent I look forward to it all year. I was especially looking forward to this years shenanigans.

Then I jacked myself up on our joint RH3-H5 trail which messed up my plans for 6 to 8 weeks (no big deal) but also for ONE NIGHT (big deal).

This morning BIGRIG and JELLO picked me up and we slogged thru snowy roads to arrive at Molly's Pub at 7:15AM. Piper Thompson McConnell was piping in the morning as he stood on Chestnut Street.

Inside, we drank Guinness beer and ate a good Irish breakfast and socialized. Oddly, the place wasn't that full and we were the ONLY ones kilted.

A good start to the day. Came home to ramp up for the evening but then took a header on the snowy driveway and decided I need to heal a bit before tomorrow's St Pattys Fatty.

For me to miss a 3/17 in Reading you KNOW I am under the weather. My consolation is knowing that a bunch of our hashers are partying it up right now. Drink one for me my friends, drink one for me!
