My family is part Irish so we all inherited Irish names (mine being Jamie; my mother’s is Molly, and then there is my uncle Pat and my cousins Gavin and Connor, etc., etc!)

I recall my father many times commenting in jest, “She’s got Irish blood!”, or sometimes my mother would rhetorically come back with, “I’m Irish, what can I say?” as a convenient excuse for whatever behavior she fancied at the moment. So, with that, I shamelessly quote Sigmund Freud statement about the Irish: “This is one race of people for whom psychoanalysis is of no use whatsoever.”

An old legend says that, while Christ will judge all nations on judgment day, St. Patrick will be the judge of the Irish.

One of the most popular radio shows in rural Ireland is still the weekly broadcast of local obituaries.

The “Oscar” statuette handed out at the Academy Awards was designed by Cedric Gibbons, who was born in Dublin in 1823. Gibbons emigrated to the US, and was considered MGM’s top set designer from the twenties right on through the fifties, working on over 1,500 films. Besides designing the coveted prize, Mr. Gibbons managed to win a dozen of them himself.

I’m Irish, and I’m very proud of it!

The Irish tricolor flag, created in 1848, was designed to reflect the country’s political realities. Orange stands for Irish Protestants, green for Irish Catholics and the white stripe for the hope that peace might eventually be reached between them. (While I wear both green and orange on St. Patrick’s Day, I should wear orange only as my heritage was Irish Protestant.)

Happy St. Patrick’s Day and THANKS for a great giveaway!
