Today was indeed a lovely day for a Guinness - actually, a most glorious day all around. I still feel like I'm living in a dream world, because I submitted the final draft of my thesis! I feel satisfied with the way it turned out (and very grateful for the encouragement of my friends and family as the thesis consumed my life like a crazed octopus). So today I was walking on clouds.
I celebrated my Irish heritage and the successful completion of my thesis with some potatoes, a glass of Guinness, and a really neat documentary on the development of Irish popular music, Out of Ireland. The film was quite engrossing and I got some insight into my all-time favorite band, U2, and their contemporaries. The Guinness, for its part, was the best Guinness I have ever had. Perhaps it was the sweet taste of freedom.
Happy St. Patrick's Day, everyone! Beannaichtaí na Féile Pádraig! (That means St. Patrick's Day blessings.)

Congratulations on getting the final draft done.
Thank you! :)
WOW! What an accomplishment. I spent many St. Patrick's Days standing in line outside Irish pubs in your neck of the woods, just waiting to get inside and sing a rounding chorus of "The Wild Rover."
Congratulations! Blessings.
