We’re in for a treat this year. Thanks to some calendric good fortune, the best day of the year in Dallas, the Greenville Avenue St. Patrick’s Day Parade, will be celebrated on March 11. Then we get nearly a full week to recover, and—pow—St. Patrick’s Day proper falls the following Friday. To get you ready for the big day(s), I conducted this Q&A with myself wherein I share my own personal plans, which are amazing.
ME: You get really pumped for this parade, don’t you?
MYSELF: Oh, my gosh. Yes. The weather is almost always beautiful. Everyone’s in a good mood, eager to shake off the winter and pour some beer down their necks. As long as you behave yourself, the cops let you wander around with an open container. And I get to wear a kilt.
Kilts aren’t Irish.
What’s your point? In Ireland, they don’t even party on St. Patrick’s Day. We’ve made some improvements.
What’s that story again about Tom Stephenson wrestling a bear on St. Patrick’s Day?
