Those of you who know me, know that St. Patty's Day is my favorite day of the year. Why? Well, I have some very fond memories growing up in Rocky Point, New York and celebrating St. Patty's Day with a big parade and great friends - it was always a good time. Last year I took the kids to the St. Patrick's Day parade here in Harrisburg, PA and it just was not the same - you could not even compare it to the St. Patty's Day parades we had in Rocky Point. I don't know, maybe it's because I am older or maybe it's because it's a lot different now than it was back then. I took a 1/2 day off of work on St. Patty's Day so I can go out for some drinks with some friends. I believe the parade is on Saturday, March 18th - I am going to surprise the kids and taken them ...they had a blast last year.
