St. Patrick's Day

Ce n'est pas une shamrock.

Since today was St. Paddy's Day, most people wore some form of green on them to work to avoid being pinched. Not sure what else you're supposed to do on this day to celebrate it, but I noticed that many Irish pubs and bars were overflowing with patrons when I was on my way home.

March is also the start of "March Madness", which describes a series of college basketball games. What people do is put money in a pool and then bet on which teams will win the games. We've even got a pool going on in the office. I may have to join in just to experience this thing they call "March Madness". It's totally a part of American culture, in a similar vein to the Super Bowl.
