Happy St. Patrick's Day

Unfortunately, I missed the parade this past weekend. Missed it in Toronto (where I was), Pittsburgh (where I had been), and Chicago (where I might have been).

I sometimes have a dangerous wish to be stuck somewhere interesting, and to be able to go exploring for an extra day, at airline expense.

For example, if I had an extra day in the Pittsburgh area, I might go and visit Fallingwater, or Punxsutawney Phil, who correctly predicted six more weeks of winter (which should have ended last week).

Of course, as always, sometimes you get what you wish for. Like a broken radio which results in three hours of purgatory in the East Satellite Terminal.
