Joke Heard @ the Gaelic Mass last evening

During a walk in the park, a priest came across an old man reading a book. The priest asked the man what he was reading. The old man said "I like to keep my brain active, so I'm learning the Hebrew language." The priest said "Really? At your age, do you think you'll ever visit Israel?"
The old man said "No, but I hear they speak Hebrew in Heaven." The priest said "And what if you go to hell?" The old man replied "I already speak Gaelic."

St. Patrick's Day

Kansas City has one of the largest St. Patrick's Day Parades in the United States. The one downtown is third in size, with New York & Chicago coming in first & second, respectively.

Personally, I prefer the one in Brookside because it is smaller and has more of a neighborhood feel. You can bring the kids and dogs along without worrying about them getting trampled.

Here's the schedule for 2008:


Kickoff Luncheon & Silent Auction
Friday, March 7th 11:00 am Marriot Muehlebach

Parade Entrants Numbers Pickup Mtg.
Wednesday, March 12th 5:30 - 7:00 pm Event Space 1617 Main St.

Westport Run
Saturday, March 15th 10:00 am Westport Rd. & Pennsylvania

Brookside Parade
Saturday, March 15th 2:00 pm Brookside Blvd. & 63rd St

Day of Parade
Monday, March 17th 10 - 11 am - along the Parade route 11 am - 2 pm - Washington Sq. park

The New Downtown

I like it! Actually, i really do enjoy the new downtown Kansas City. It's becoming so vibrant and...even cosmopolitan. The energy is great. I love the music floating out into the street and the throngs of happy people. First Fridays are amazing.
