Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Sometimes I miss elementary school, where the classroom was decorated differently for each of the holidays - Valentine's Day, St. Patrick's Day, Spring, etc... and you got to color a special picture and eat cookies with appropriate colored icing that Kari Olsen's mom would bake and bring in for the class... And maybe we'd play a rousing game of leprechaun bingo or valentine's mad math and feel festive. Once you're a grown up, I find it's rare that the world stops to do these little "markers" of life. All the days are just another day...

And while we are at it, I miss recess.
