criminy--i forgot about this goofball holiday. and somewhere in my background there apparently lurks some irish--but it turns out that i'm wearing a green shirt (by accident), a sweatshirt with orange piping, a black t-shirt and will be wearing a tan jacket when i go out.
so that's green orange AND black and tan (the colors of cromwell's army that massacred the irish in great number in the 17th century).
if i was in south boston dressed like this, i'd get beat up.
