Well... it's now less than a week from the high holy day of St. Patrick's Day, a day that unites the world in escapism via inebriation.

This year, I'm planning on celebrating the blessed event with a typical (albeit excellent) corned beef and cabbage dinner, some Irish culture which might include reading some works by Irish writers or reading up on Irish history (a key element of appropriate holiday celebration, I feel), and lots and lots of beer (another key element of appropriate holiday celebration, I feel).

So, this coming Saturday, my plan is to be home enjoying good food and drink until after dinner time and then probably off to the pubs. And, as such, this is an open invite to any of my faithful readers here (even those prodigal sons and daughters who have only recently returned, as well as those new to the site) to come by for free food and drink and a pleasant bit of escapism and community.

Granted, many of my readers exist in realms far too distant for random droppings in. But, then again, I'm not throwing a wedding here; it's St. Patty's Day. There will be a lot of food and beer and if I have left-overs - excellent. If I run out, then we go to the pub earlier than planned - also excellent.

So, if you need directions to my place (new place if you haven't been over to see me since before July), e-mail me at savage@escapistreality.net.

For those of you who are new to the site or were hoping to see it again, you can also a transcript of an instant message conversation I had detailing exact instructions on how to have a great St. Patty's Day.

Ah... St. Patty's Day. What a great holiday. The one day of the year where every body is Irish. And, like they say, "If you’re enough lucky to be Irish... You’re lucky enough!"
