The Two Faces of St. Patrick’s Day (part one)

This is a picture of my son’s first Guinness. It was taken at a pub in Blarney in March of 2004, just before his second birthday. Because Guinness is such an acquired taste, Sean didn’t much care for it. So his daddy bravely and selflessly stepped up to the plate and finished it for him. Aren’t I great?

Here’s to all the pints that will be hoisted today, and all those who will hoist them.

Sláinte!
