The Thanks That I Get

"If a woman does not keep pace with her companions,
perhaps it is because she hears a different drummer.
Let her step to the music which she hears,
however measured or far away"

Walden, Henry David Thoreau

I found an old picture of my papa.

St. Patrick's Day Parade

I went to the St Patrick's Day parade yesterday with a friend. I mostly wanted to go because I've lived in Chicago for over two years and had not been to it yet. I can't say that I was surprised, it was pretty boring, lots of green, and lots of drunks roaming around saying sentences they really shouldn't say. We did see one guy with bloody knuckles, which means he punched something that wasn't a face. I did not see much of who was in the parade, some freakishly tall women stood right in front of me . That picture above pretty much demonstrates my view. Actual St. Patrick's Day is awesome though and I plan to celebrate this year by dressing fancy and holding my drinks with one pinky out-like a classy lady does it!
