I heard on the radio today that Saint Patrick wasn't Irish, which I knew, but that he was Italian (or of a ruling Roman family) which I had not heard before. So in my quest to know it all, here are a few links about this person that so many here in Chicago attribute this day to.
History Channel's Saint PatrickKids' Domain -- more than just Saint Patrick And my personal favorite which addresses the question of St. Patrick being
Italian.

I'm starting to think about Spring Break. I haven't been back the Kansas way since Christmas. We're talking about visiting. I'd like to stay one night in Kansas City and to make some stops along the way because I think a 13 month old will not be happy riding 8 hours in the car and I want to check out some things along the way. This has the potential to be a real "family" vacation.
And now, because I got up early, I must retire during the beloved child's nap time. Thank heaven for part time and afternoon naps.
