TODAY is St. Patty’s Day, Purim, and the opening day of March Madness. Like Brigadoon this happens only once every hundred years, and since the NCAA Tournament has been in existence for less than a century this is the inaugural one. You were there!
I wanted to name this rare occurrence Holy Trinity Day but that seems to already be taken (June 12th), so instead I’ll refer to it as LIC Day. No, no, there’s no relevance there, but it is the only relevant part of this post that has anything to do with LIC whatsoever. Anyway expect lots of Guinness, Irish whisky, hamantashen, wine, brackets, upsets, and conga lines! Yes, there will be conga lines on Vernon Boulevard today, don’t sit it out otherwise you’ll have to wait another 100 years.
