Well everyone knows what day it is tomorrow. So in honor of St Patrick's Day let me tell you a little bit about the man and the myth.
The myth is this guy came into Ireland ridding the nation of snakes and even going toe to toe with a dragon by a lake. Hmmmm.... I think not.
In short, St Patrick was born around the 4th century in jolly ole England. At the tender age of 16 he was captured by Irish raiders and forced into slavery. Upon his escape 6 years later St Patrick decided to return back to Ireland as a missionary.
He became a hero to the Irish people and every year they pay him homage by giving him a day of celebration. Which we americans turned into what is now known as the "green beer" day. So, if it's corned beef and cabbage for you tonight, raise a glass to St Patrick while you're at it as well.
Side note: This holiday falls as my all-time 3rd favorite of the year.
HAPPY ST PATTY'S DAY EVERYONE!!

3rd favorite? You must be Catholic then. Oh wait, almost every holiday was started by catholicism, nevermind.
