All better! St. Patrick's Day


11 a.m.: I am feeling much better today, so I think I will just declare myself well. It is a beautiful sunny day on Cape Cod. Today is a state holiday in Massachusetts. One might think it is because of St. Patrick's Day, but the anti-Irish crowd in the statehouse apparently balked at teh idea of making it a state holiday, so they compromised and made March 17 "Evacuation Day," in honor of the day the British evacuated Boston in the Revolutionary War.
