Happy Saint Patty's day!

[mimitabby]

Is this the ride thread?
for Saint Patricks' day I did 50 miles with Raleighdon and PansyPalmetto in Sacramento. We started at our motel in Rancho Cordoba and rode all the way into Old Sacramento mostly via the trail. On the trail we saw all kinds of wildlife including a coyote, a hawk (sharp shinned?) duelling hummingbirds, horny turkeys, magpies & mockingbirds.
Once in Sacramento, we met horses and busy streets,


and then we headed off in search of Pansy Avenue. At Pansy Avenue, Pansy did a pole dance until a neighbor came and more or less wished us out of there.

We opted to take light rail back to our motel as it was getting much too late; so after taking the wrong train, we eventually ended up at the right one. We got back on the trail and said our goodbyes


It was a beautiful day; not too hot for delicate me and sunny enough for anyone.

SilverSon and I are watching a story on the Colbert Report about a bar that banned the singing of "Oh Danny Boy".

He didn't get it.

So, I sang the entire song to him as loudly as I could

He gets it now

Oh Danny boy, the pipes, the pipes are calling
From glen to glen, and down the mountain side
The summer's gone, and all the flowers are dying
'Tis you, 'tis you must go and I must bide.
But come ye back when summer's in the meadow
Or when the valley's hushed and white with snow
'Tis I'll be here in sunshine or in shadow
Oh Danny boy, oh Danny boy, I love you so.

And if you come, when all the flowers are dying
And I am dead, as dead I well may be
You'll come and find the place where I am lying
And kneel and say an "Ave" there for me.

And I shall hear, tho' soft you tread above me
And all my dreams will warm and sweeter be
If you'll not fail to tell me that you love me
I'll simply sleep in peace until you come to me.

I'll simply sleep in peace until you come to me.

For the first time in a long time, I did nothing for St. Patrick's Day. I felt kind of bad, but work has got me all tied in knots, so I just didn't feel like doing anything. Nothing will top the St. Patrick's Day I spent in Ireland four years ago. Except for another trip back...

Oh Danny boy, the pipes, the pipes are calling

The summer's gone, and all the flowers are dying
'Tis you, 'tis you must go and I must bide.
But come ye back when summer's in the meadow
Or when the valley's hushed and white with snow
'Tis I'll be here in sunshine or in shadow
Oh Danny boy, oh Danny boy, I love you so.

And if you come, when all the flowers are dying
And I am dead, as dead I well may be
You'll come and find the place where I am lying
And kneel and say an "Ave" there for me.

And I shall hear, tho' soft you tread above me
And all my dreams will warm and sweeter be
If you'll not fail to tell me that you love me
I'll simply sleep in peace until you come to me.

I'll simply sleep in peace until you come to me.
