St. Patrick vs. St. Paul

Happy Saint Patrick's day from Saint Paul. I'm about to fight my way into downtown to pick up Eleanor for our usual writing date, and I'm hoping that if I sneak in the back way I'll avoid much of the crazy that is Saint Paul on Saint Patrick's day. (Parade begins at noon!)

Speaking of Saint Paul, just yesterday I was complaining that our town was named after one of my least favorite saints. I still think Pig's Eye would have made a lovely capitol city of Minnesota. Brigid would have made a better choice, given both the number of Irish settlers AND pagans currently living in Saint Paul.

Let's start a campaign shall we? St. Brigid, Minnesota! (Kidding, BTW.)
