This is the month we decide where we are going to spend the next few years of our life. Do we stay in Utah another two years? Or do we move away from BYU, possibly never to return except as a vacation spot. We are supposed to be prayerfully pondering this decision—but mostly, I think we are just trying to avoid it.
St. Patrick’s day? I don’t even understand why this holiday exists. No special candy, no gift exchanges, no day off from work…just make sure you have at least one speck of green on you so you don’t get pinched? And why green? Just because four-leaf clovers happen to be green? And leprechauns? Darby O'Gill and the Little People is the most frightening movie I have ever seen...except maybe the Dark Crystal.
Beware the Ides of March...Yes, Shakespeare is cool. He turned a random day in the middle of March into an ominous, foreboding, day to be feared.
Any other thoughts on the madness of March?

Well, the color to wear was originally blue and then switched the green because it was believed that leprachauns cannot see the color green and if they see you they will pinch you.
However, you'd have to paint your whole body green or get a green leotard because they will see the rest of you if you just wear a green shirt.
I learned that tid bit at work today.
Agreed. St. Patrick's day is lame.
That is the most interesting thing I have ever heard, Ryanne. You are so smart.
St. Patrick's Day: Hallmark needed a mid-winter sales boost.
How's your bracket doing?
Lindsay, if you wanted to know, mine is rocking. I am #1 in the group I am in. I think you should tell Nathan.
