Happy St. Patrick’s Day? Today? Absolutely!
Yeah. Yeah. I know Friday’s the actual holiday. But “The Loves of Abby Amour” mini-serial is running on Fridays. So, we’re celebrating the St. Paddy’s two days early! Or rather we’re starting to celebrate it two days early. I personally plan to still be celebrating on St. Pat’s Day since it’s also Shelagh’s and my wedding anniversary.
