Irish For A Day

Today was great fun. I got up at a reasonable hour because I finally went to bed at a reasonable hour. I went to the gym and had a pretty good workout and chatted with Celeste and Cynthia. I've known Celeste for a few years and she introduced me to Cynthia just a few days ago. Celeste is in her late 50s and Cynthia in her early 50s. Celeste appears happily single but Celeste is on the hunt for a suitor and has tried every online dating site you've ever heard of except for match.com. She had me cracking up in the sauna yesterday as she talked about some of the characters she's met on various dating sites. We both agreed that eHarmony was the biggest waste of money ever. I mentioned to her that I met John on match.com and now she's eager to try match.com but in the interest of full disclosure I also told her that I met crazy Mike on match.com as well. She seems to have a good attitude and an open mind so I'm sure she will meet some good people online but my advice to her was to avoid the free sites such as Craig's List (the source of many of her dating horror stories) After dispensing online dating advice at the gym I headed to the office to meet up with Anne. Anne and I hopped on a metro transit bus toward downtown for the 44th annual St Patrick's day parade. We went last year and because it was so much fun we decided to try it again and
were not disappointed. Even the bus ride was fun because practically everyone on the bus was going to the parade and most were decked out in wild costumes and in good spirits or already drunk. The paraded lasted just over an hour and boy did we see some hilarious costumes from dogs painted green to a man dressed as an Irish Elvis. I got some good photos and the weather couldn't have been more perfect for a parade, sunny and in the 60s. After the parade we hopped back on the metro transit bus to the office. We decided because it was such a beautiful day and Anne didn't have anything pressing going on at the office that we should walk to the Dairy Queen for treats. I had a peanut buster parfait and Anne had some type of coffee drink. We walked back to the office where we parted ways. I've been relaxing all evening and playing around with my parade photos. Happy St Patrick's Day
