Happy St. Patrick's Day!

St. Patrick's Day is an easy one to celebrate. Wear green, and everybody asks if you're Irish. At St. Patrick's Grade School, my alma mater, we always got that day off. No wonder I have pleasant associations with St. Patrick's Day.

Come to my house for supper this evening, and you'll have corned beef. It's snowing outside, and we're cooking up a storm.

As for celebrating, Chicago journalist Julia Keller appropriately celebrated libraries as "special places" in a March 13 essay on the NewsHour with Jim Lehrer, "In Internet Age, Libraries Still Draw a Crowd."
