Sláinte!

Happy Belated St. Patrick's. 'Tis my favorite holiday of the year, but alas, I unexpectedly worked late and didn't celebrate as I usually like to (with Corned Beef, Cabbage, and Smithwick's, my favorite Irish beer). I did get in a little time on my fiddle and I'm winding down the night listening to the Chieftains, Beolach, and some of my other favorite traditional Celtic groups. These photos fit the occasion though they're from another island than Ireland.

Hope everyone had a fun and safe St. Paddy's!

Sweet Lorraine

Me.

The title refers to my beloved middle name and the title of my wedding blog, a la Nat King Cole. I can't wait until that lucky day when I marry sweet Lorraine. I'm excited to pass along my homemade veil as a "something borrowed" to a dear cousin of mine.
