Happy St Patrick’s day

It is St Patrick’s day.  Although I’m not Irish, my father was extremely Irish – so this has to be a holiday on par with anything othere … hence why I’m at work :P

I would like to think that the day is about my brother, Patrick (who makes tax calculators), but I think it’s about this guy.  He is celebrated for driving the Pagans out of Ireland – well that doesn’t seem particularly nice.  Hopefully he did so in a way that was a potential pareto improvement, and involved adequate compensation.

Anyway, have a good St Patrick’s day.

NoteHomepaddock and the Inquiring Mind are both celebrating as well.
