• Thanks, Mom, for contributing a little Irish DNA into the Genung gene pool. Gives me a good excuse (as any) to drink some green beer and down some corned beef & cabbage today.

• Speaking of Erin Go Bragh, the Norwich Irish had quite a good turnout for their annual flag-raising ceremony in downtown’s West Side Park at noontime. Frank’s photos are up on our Facebook page now, and there’ll be more in Friday’s Evening Sun.

• Sometimes it’s the little things that make me happy, like a brand-new, 27-inch iMac sitting on my desk this morning. Not little at all, really – in fact, it’s ridiculously huge. If they make them any bigger, I’m gonna need a larger office.

• I must have gotten too caught up in the reverie yesterday (note sarcasm; don’t step in it), because I forgot to mention in my blog (actually I “forgot” to blog entirely) that March 16 was the 120th anniversary of the black, white & read all over Evening Sun. Happy Birthday to Chenango County’s Hometown Daily! You don’t look a day over 100 (which was when I first met you).
