Standing On Boxes

Somehow, I made it through St. Patrick’s day without any contact with green.

In fact, looking around my apartment? The only greens are dark, non-holiday greens (I’ve got a dark (very dark) green couch. And that’s about it.

But then, I’ve never really celebrated the holiday. When I was growing up it was just another saint’s day. Even though I had a grandmother who was a Murphy (Apparently a common Irish name).

Of course, I don’t celebrate other ethnic holidays (Is there one if you have German ancestors) or one I should celebrate in honor of my Sicilian grandfather (1st generation American? His parents came over on a boat.)?
