What Will You Do With This?

St. Patrick’s Day Fun

Can you tell I’m on Spring Break? I’m not actually doing anything spring-y or break-y, but I’m also not doing homework every night! That is something.

I have to say that I’m struck today by how we have managed to take the celebration of a spiritual, influential man and reduced it to a color...
