St. Patrick's Day Traditions

[beloitpiper]

These are relatively new traditions, but they've been consistent for a few years now:

-Shower beer. Nothing goes together as well as Irish Spring and Killians Red.
-6 am piping. The "Irish" pub in Beloit opens at 6:00am on the 17th, and I've been piping there. This year there'll be a news crew!
-Happy Hour session. Usually around 4:30 my friends get together for a few tunes to sober (?) us up.

My mother-in-law, Patricia, was born in Dublin on St. Patty's day so we celebrate her birthday.

She might be "St. Patty", but the old Irish saint is St. Patrick (Paddy, if you knew him personally!)
