Last night a bunch of us went out to celebrate Dooner's birthday (damn youngin', lol). We started with dinner at Great American and then headed to Knights' Tavern to see Chris' band play. It was there that Dooner shared his theory about Zombie Jesus. Apparently the whole "rising from the dead" thing sounds a little like "Night of the Living Dead" to him. Who knew? Rich then argued that Jesus couldn't be a zombie because when he rose from the dead, he went straight to heaven. At that point, I had to step in as the voice of authority (aka - Catholic school teacher) and correct both of them. Apparently Rich's years spent in Catholic school were all for naught... he'd completely forgotten that Jesus spent 40 days on Earth before ascending into heaven. Okay... I'll let that go. However, he also forgot that we always had the day off for Ascension Thursday. Not just a made up holiday, my friend. At any rate, we all had a good laugh over it.
Saint Patrick's Day is tomorrow! Sam and I spent all day in the kitchen whipping up all sorts of tasty Irish treats for a party we're going to. She made Afternoon Tea Scones, clotted cream, and strawberry jam (all from scratch!). I made Irish Potatoes, and I cut up a variety of green veggies to be enjoyed with spinach dip. I'm looking forward to eating some ham and cabbage with soda bread.
Beannachtaí na Féile Pádraig oraibh!
And may you be in heaven half an hour before the Devil knows you're dead!
