The Wearing of the Green
While you all enjoy being an Irishman for a day tomorrow, (except of course, for the gentleman over at Baltimoremick.com, who is, pardon the pun, the real McCoy), I will be wearing green of a slightly different variety when I fly to Jackson, Mississippi (who knew it was a hotbed of St. Paddy's Day fun??), to attend the 2006 St. Paddy's Day parade sponsored by the loonies at Hal and Mal's to honor the lovely ladies known as the Sweet Potato Queens. This event attracts more than 50,000 bawdy women a year and includes a Ball tomorrow night, and an after parade street party with bands on Saturday. I've got three BFF that have graciously agreed to accompany me on what is sure to be one of the best "Girl's Weekend" trips we've ever taken - and we've taken some good ones! Feather boas and tiaras have been purchased, assorted costumes and accessories are packed, and the laptop is going too - so there may be blogging. In the meantime, I'm practicing my Queen Elizabeth wave.
This will require pictures.
