as much as i hate to scoot on past my easter post before the holiday has even come around, i was thrilled to finally get a picture of the whole gang from this year's st. patrick's day festivities and couldn't wait to share it with the zero people who read this blog. i have this same picture taken every year because it gives me a pretty accurate accounting of which friends are always by my side and which ones have gone off in some other direction (for whatever reason). i try to be a good and true friend and always hope that the people i love count me as such...and, even though the lot of us are hardly perfect (and spend too much time indulging in our various vices), i wouldn't trade one of my nearest and dearest for anyone else in the world. in honor of the holiday, and in the words of an old irish saying:i have only two things in life to worry about: either i am sick or i am well.
if i am well, i have nothing to worry about,
but, if i am sick, i'll have only two things to worry about: either i will live or i will die.
if i live, i have nothing to worry about,
but, if i die, i will have only two things to worry about: either i'll go to heaven or i'll go to hell.
if i go to heaven, i have nothing to worry about,
but, if i go to hell, i'll be so damn busy shaking hands with my friends, i won't have time to worry.
slainte!
