The 031707 Front

Life is beautiful.

Yesterday I lamented a bit the lack of new inspiration and adventure, and then proceeded to a Rum and Coke and Guinness infused evening. Awoke hungover to an email, and as quickly plans fall into place for St. Patrick's in - wait for it - CHICAGO.

Oh baby. It takes only a few minutes more to realize that the NCAA tournament opens that weekend. Perhaps there is a location nearby to catch some games? Uh, how about the United Center in Chicago?!?! Absolutely perfect, since the games fall on the 16th and 18th, making attendance possible while conserving the Saturday to attend to the dying of the river and then the multiple Irish pubs (note the "Howl at the Moon" piano bar as well). At times like this... my oh my... it is to marvel.
