Happy St. Patrick's Day


OK - yes I am on a roll for posting - but I wanted to say Happy St. Patrick's Day to everyone and I did not want to mix that up with Kris's birthday. I was in Richmond yesterday so I did not have a chance to post Kris's birthday wish.

Yesterday was an interesting one. The trip to Richmond was for work - a quick visit to the Federal Reserve - but with driving down and back and lunch and everything it made for a full day. While I was in Richmond Tika texted me. She had just spoken with her counselor at school about planning courses for next year and of course getting ready for graduation in 2010. She was all excited since her counselor had suggested that VCU would be a good school for her. In the nation it is a top 5 ranked art school and she has the grades for it. I was pretty excited because it literally was a mile from where I was and I know it is a good school and reasonably close by. We talked about it more last night and she has a couple of others in mind so we will start looking at SATs and applications in the coming months.

So - a funny story - we were in DC on Saturday afternoon and I needed a coffee so we swung by the Starbucks in Chinatown. We sat down and there was a paper sitting there. Now this was Saturday at maybe 4 PM. I saw the paper and it just struck me funny - so I had to take a picture. Maybe it was a "timing" funny - funny at the time.

Have a GREAT St. Paddy's day and be safe.
