Happy St. Patrick’s Day!
And—much more importantly—Happy Anniversary to my wife Shelagh Lustig. It seems impossible that it’s been 41 years. Oh, that’s right. We got married when we were in preschool during first recess. Instead of a honeymoon, we had nap time after lunch.
Also, Many thanks to Mike Pascale for the great gag—plus the art changes that created the leprechaun!
