Thank you for all the warm birthday wishes! Yes, we were born around this time in 2018. Our humans don't know precisely when, so they assigned St. Patrick's Day as our birth date. And a swell date it is.
Corned beef and cabbage was on the menu in our house tonight, and there's a rumor that a new toy is in the offing. Meanwhile, we were pleased to see our quite-Irish President, Joe Biden, visiting with members of the Riverdance company on Capitol Hill.
If we're going to get sentimental about St. Paddy's, though, we probably want to reflect on Jack Kennedy's trip to Ireland in 1963. He was greeted with universal adulation, just five months before his assassination — which of course breaks everyone's heart. So lest we fall in a weepy puddle, let's recall instead what Yogi Berra is alleged to have said when Kennedy met with the first elected Jewish mayor of Dublin: "Only in America!" We cats PURR.
