Dia Beannacht Leat!!

("God Bless You", in Gaelic)


There may be an interruption in your regularly scheduled blogging goodness this weekend, because I am going back home (to Massachusetts) to indulge the Callahan half of my family tree (yes, the family crest on the left, in this case), and celebrate St. Patrick's Day. I will try my best to cover some of the first round of the NCAA Tournament, and just might slip in one more cigar review, but I wanted to make sure that I got in a salutation before I left:

From Saint Patrick's Breastplate

Christ be with me
Christ before me
Christ behind me
Christ in me
Christ beneath me
Christ above me
Christ on my right
Christ on my left
Christ where I lie
Christ where I sit
Christ where I arise
Christ in the heart of every man
who thinks of me
Christ in the mouth of every man
who speaks of me
Christ in every eye that sees me
Christ in every ear that hears me
Salvation is of the Lord.



Here's to a long life and a merry one.
A quick death and an easy one.
A pretty girl and an honest one.
A cold beer—and another one!
