St. Patrick's Day. Going to make a Corned Beef simmered in Guinness Stout.



Got the recipe from Allrecipes. Of course, I did some modifications including throwing a little Jameson.



Went to the Barclay's Center for a College game.



Local bar had an outside porch on the upper level. 70 degrees and a great place to hang out.



Love the hat.



Guinness settling.



$5 win and $41 win in a real poker game.

Great arena to watch a game.

Super Pi day ! "The tension between order and randomness is one of the most tantalizing aspects of pi."



McMahon's near the Barclays Center. William Least Heat Moon in Blue Highways used a rating system for diners in which the number of calendars hanging about determined the quality of the diner . For bars , I use Moose heads. This one passed.



A nice venue to watch a Basketball game.



Time's cover appears to give Hillary horns. No sweat, they've done it before.

The second of three 2015 Friday the 13ths. Paraskevidekatriaphobia abounds.



Looking forward to Tuesday, Irish coffees and Soda Bread. Kerrygold is the butter, they even have it at Stop and Shop.



Time for a little Barclay Center action. Great arena, food and beer are top notch.



St. Patrick's Day warm-up.

Since St. Patrick's day is on a Monday, this is St. Patrick's Day weekend. Time for soda bread and Irish Coffee.



Went to the A-10 championships at the Barclays Center for two afternoon games. Nice arena, actually better than MSG.



Oh yeah, I am ready. Half and Halfs coming up with Sierra Nevada Pale Ale as the bottom half. The name "Black and Tan" is not used in Ireland as a term for a mixture of two beers, the drink is instead referred to as a Half and half due to the association with the Royal Irish Constabulary Reserve Force, nicknamed the "Black and Tans", which was sent into Ireland in the early 1920s.
