Happy St. Paddy's Day! Yes, it's Pa-DD-y, not Pa-TT-y, as my very Irish family likes to remind pretty much anyone on March 17. Don't believe me? Paddy is short for the Irish version of St. Patrick's name, Padraig. Even the dictionary backs me up - check it out!

But I digress. It's St. Patrick's Day weekend! If you aren't wearing green today...maybe rethink that decision before heading out tonight. There's plenty of Irish-themed fun happening around town tonight - plus activities to fill the rest of your weekend.
