As you know, I always like to get a bit of orange in on the 17th, but this is the first year in longer than I can remember that I actually decided to wear green as well. I used to like to tell people I had Irish immunity because I really believe that if you have lived long enough in Ireland (North or South) you should be allowed to a) listen to U2 without embarrassment and b) skip the green on St. Patrick's Day with impunity.
