Some good news. And I can't believe that I failed to mention my St. Patrick's Day fun. Not only did I get to share corned beef with my darlings (mother and other), but I also rode in a St. Patrick's Day parade for the first time ever. Sort of! I rode in the cab of the truck which sailed along carrying Atlantic Highlands councilmen Lou Fligor, Kim Spatola, Carl Nolan and Pete Doyle. I also saw -- and heard -- the most bagpipers I've heard since I attended the Nova Scotia Tattoo. Happy belated St. Patrick's Day!
