Reason: Addition
Not particularly. At my age, partying is something I rarely if ever engage in, and certainly not on a weeknight.
Will you wear something green?
If I do, it would be in a piece of jewelry rather than in clothing. My complexion is pale enough that my face tends to pick up the color of whatever I am wearing, and as a result, when I wear green, I look as though I am in the end stages of liver failure. Hence, I do not own any green clothing.
Any of our QOTD family planing on making or eating Corn Beef & Cabbage?
Oh, yes, that's one of our favorites anyway, although it is not Irish. Corned beef is not in the least bit Irish: if we were going to have an authentic Irish meal, we'd be fixing lamb stew and soda bread.
Bonus Question
When you were in school
What subject did you do get the best grade in?
I am sure it will come as a surprise to most folks, but I always did fairly well in any English course, particularly those that required students to read a lot.
Which subject "not so much"?
That would be pretty much any science subject - I hated 'em all. So naturally, I grew up and married a science teacher.... Eh, go figure.
Extra Credit Question:
OK fess up
When was the last time you were a "pest" about something?
That happens regularly, or at least according to those who know me best. Most recently, I have been pestering folks on the all-volunteer committee that plans and puts on the huge annual convention about submitting articles for the next electronic newsletter to our membership. Articles are due by midnight this Thursday, and it seems as though most of them come in around 11:30 Thursday evening.

How long till you will be experiencing "shorts & T-shirt " weather?
Well, it's supposed to get up over 60 degrees here on Thursday, which will doubtless have all the college kids out there in their shorts and t-shirts, but it'll likely be June before it gets warm enough to convince me to show my fat white legs in a pair of shorts.
