Make mine a Guiness...

Well, I missed St. Patrick's Day here. Hope yours was good.

One noteable news item with an Ireland tie-in.

Steelers owner is Ireland nominee

6-time Super Bowl Champion Pittsburgh Steelers owner Dan Rooney has been selected to be U.S. ambassador to Ireland by President Barack Obama.







My dad went school with the Rooney boys, North Catholic High School in Pittsburgh and St. Vincent's College in Latrobe. I believe Art Jr. was in dad's class and Dan was a couple years

ahead.

UPDATE:

Well wouldn't you know it. First post after a long layoff and kinda I blow it. The Rooney's went to North Catholic, but only Art Jr. went on to St. Vincent's. Dan went to Duquesne.

Happy St. Patrick's Day


And what a grand day it is. The Aggies have made the NCAA, Tiger proves once again he's the best golfer ever, and the Rockets continue their improbable win streak.

All fine reasons for a bit of the Guiness.
