One would think that the good folks of the Great and General Court of Massachusetts would have found a way to make St. Patrick's Day a state-wide holiday. Apparently, however, the religious and ethnic issues proved too daunting. The commissioners of Suffolk County (Boston, Chelsea, Revere, and Winthrop) went back to the books and discovered a historically significant event - on March 17, 1776, the British were run out of Boston. So, since the early 20th century, Suffolk County has had Evacuation Day as a holiday. The school kids can walk right past the Revolutionary War exhibits on their way to the local pub for corned beef and cabbage.
Back then, in the late 19th centry, school was tough. How tough? This tough. Let me know how well you do with trigraphs, subvocals, diphthongs, cognate letters, linguals.
Woody is making corned beef and cabbage for our supper. I was tempted to make a novel dessert - Spam Swiss Pie - but won't have the time. (Mmm, Spam, whipped cream, eggs, cheese.)
Tomorrow, Woody is going to PEI with John and Suanne, They'll leave around seven in the morning. Tignish, where images of Jesus and the Virgin Mary have appeared on a cloth, is about 100 miles (160 km) away, so they probably won't have a chance to visit the site.
I like cats and I like guitar music, but that doesn't mean this is a good idea.
Tony Blair doesn't know how to use an iPod, but the Pope isn't afraid to try. Draw your own conclusions.
David Weinberger is one of the smartest people I know. Well, I don't know him directly, but we have mutual friends on a technology email list. So, I was a bit surprised when he wrote this in his blog. Of course, I wear penny loafers almost all of the time and shoes with Velcro straps aren't too many years away.
