St. Patrick's Day 2026

When your wife is predominantly Irish, you have to go with the flow. For the first time in my life we attended two different St. Patrick's Day Events.

The first and by far the best was an event that Caroline organized at our own Curling Club. She booked an excellent band, decorated the hall, and arranged for a light snack for everyone around 10 pm. There was even some green beer! She had a great group of volunteers to help her along at various stages.

At our age we are no longer the night owls we used to be but we had to step up for the event as we couldn't leave the hall until the band left. That wasn't so bad as it gave us time to rip off the table linens, put them in the wash bin and put away the tables and chairs. This made for light work when we came back in the morning to take down the decorations.
