Took the day off work, as I usually do. Wife and I (kilted, of course, in the Irish National) started at our regular bagel shop, then proceeded to an Irish pub
http://www.feniansirishpub.com/home.htm for the very short parade into the pub. Then to an artsy-touristy town south of us, where we bar-hopped through several rounds of our usual haunts for the rest of the day.
Overwhelmingly positive and enthusiastic responses. Many requests for pictures, no kilt checks, (drat) and only one mildly foolish question.
Only regret is that I didn't take today off, also, for recovery.
