This past Sunday was the big parade day. It was cold, so we didn't make it to the end, but the kids were good and loved Toad's, as usual. They got to run around while the Tipperary Knights played, and we got to warm up with a couple of beers and corned beef sandwiches. Mary took the kids home around 5:00 and we went on to Anna Liffey's. Great fun, as usual. Sheila took a boatload of pictures, and as soon as she figures out how to download from her camera and attach them to e-mails, I'll be a-posting them.

We're still house-hunting. We went to see a house yesterday, but I don't think it's the one for us. It meets almost all of our requirements, but there is a LOT of work that needs to be done, including putting in a bathroom in the basement and ripping up all of the carpets upstairs, due to the intense smell of cat and dog pee and poop. Not to mention refacing all of the kitchen cabinets, new countertops, new stove, stripping wallpaper and painting every room. If I really loved other aspects (neighborhood, part of town, price, etc.), it might be worth the trouble. But...

It's snowing here. And it's going to keep on snowing until tomorrow. And then it's supposed to snow again on Friday. Just when you thought it was over. Speaking of which, I should get back to work and do a few things so I can leave early if it starts to get bad out there. Have a good day!
