Erin Go Braugh!

It's that time of year again, steeped in tradition.

I have four traditions for this time of year:

1. Join my Angus and Kensington for a pint on the 17th of March.
2. Attend a St. Patrick's Day brunch.
3. Watch the St. Patrick's Day parade on the Sunday.
4. Go pub crawling.

This year, there are two pubs I definitely want to hit: the John Sleeman pub and the new Olde Orchard pub in town. This evening, I intend to consume without fear and go on a socializing rampage. Tomorrow will never come!

This is a mild form of what I used to do in my younger days. In the days of yore, I would start celebrating on the Thursday night and go non-stop until the wee hours of Monday morning.

I don't have that kind of stamina anymore, but I'm more than willing to hoist a pint to those days. If I cross you in the next few days, let's raise a pint together and sing of the old times.

The just sounds wrong, mind you - I quite like the Old Olde Orchard in NDG.

Does sound kinda weird, doesn't it? Funny that it never occurred to me until you pointed it out.

I love the Olde Orchard, but it's a bit out of the way for me. Downtown is much more convenient.
