Ann: To answer your question about the St. Patrick's Day Parade...we do not go to South Boston...no parking and it is not Televised. However, what is televised is a 3 hour Roast before the Parade on Sunday. It is a gathering of pols and they roast each other in a mostly good humored way but sometimes it really gets sharp. A number of years back when William Bulger (the gangster Whitey Bulger's brother) was a pol in the MA legislature it was a great gathering as he had a grand sense of humor and was really fast on the uptake. Even some Presidents have been know to phone in a short humorous bit. The political powers have changed and some, now, don't have the same quick wit as before but it is still fun to watch.

A piece of St. Patrick's Day info you might not know. The biggest St. Patrick's Day Parade is not Boston nor is it NYC but Savannah, GA. We heard about this a number of years back when we were visiting that beautiful city.
Savannah has a very big Irish population.

Have a great day, all.
