CIMPLE – A Curious Introvert's Musings & Photos about Life and Enjoyment

Ceol Agus Craic

It’s an exciting week for drink, music and fun!

The designated driver will be drinking water on St. Patrick’s Day, but others will be enjoying a sampling of Guinness, Baileys or a nip of Bushmills Irish Whiskey.

There is double the fun this year with the combination of basketball and the love of all things Irish.  The NCAA Men’s Basketball March Madness tournament begins Thursday and the second day of one of the greatest sporting events will be celebrated on St. Patrick’s Day.

There is more fun to be had leading up to the tournament with the return of the tv show American Crime tonight and Hap and Leonard – Mucho Mojo on Wednesday evening.

Some prefer a quieter St. Patrick’s Day and will stay in to watch the John Wayne and Maureen O’Hara classic, The Quiet Man.

Others are already practicing their Irish jig and listening to the music of great Irish performers like U2, Van Morrison and The Chieftains.

    Really fun take on St. Patrick’s Day, ACI — and I loved your animated photos of the geese, too.

      Thank you! I took these photos yesterday and thought I would start the celebration early since the St Patrick’s parade is being held today. I was hoping to go downtown for it, but between the cold weather and the lasting effects of my cold, the party will have to start at home and hopefully a little Baileys will cure my cold.

      Thank you and it may be necessary to use a nip of the Irish Whiskey in a hot toddy if this cold does not disappear by Friday!

    Hopefully a medicinal nip of Bushmills will be just the thing!

      Something has to finally help and I hope this cold finally disappears by the tip-off of the first basketball game on Thursday.

    Lots of lovely Irishness. My hometown in Northern England makes much of celebrating St Patrick’s Day, far more that St George’s Day in April. Love the pictures.
