PTM // Happy St. Patrick’s Day - 2008!

Looking back…

In 2002, I spent the weekend in Montreal for St. Patrick’s Day with a bunch of friends from high school. Why Montreal you ask? Well, I wasn’t 21 years of age yet, and in Canada you can drink at the age of 18. All I can remember from the trip is waking up in the morning to go grab some breakfast and being served 2 gallon pitchers of green beer with my eggs, bacon and toast. Yes… 2, two, dos gallon pitchers! I also remember Montreal being one of the most disgusting cities I’ve ever stepped foot in. No joke. You couldn’t pay me to go back there! I don’t even want to begin telling you what our hotel toilet looked like after that weekend…

As Irish as I am, I actually don’t celebrate St. Patrick’s Day as much as I probably should. It’s just that I’m not a big drinker, so it’s hard to relate to all these crazy drunks running around streaking through the city. Well, there’s always next year…

Please be safe, and responsible!
