Top O' the Mornin' to ya'  --  and the rest of the day as well!!

I'm of Irish decent.  I'm proud of that.  'Tis a gift to be Irish.  It typically means you're blessed with the "gift of gab" and an ability to find the lighter side of things - both good attributes to have. 

My father was Irish and embedded the Irish pride in his children.  He's been gone now a year and a half.  I miss him everyday.  I had to commemorate this day in his memory.  In honor of Thomas Richard Reagan, my father, I offer to you, an Irish blessing -

"May the luck of the Irish
Lead to happiest heights
And the highway you travel
Be lined with green lights.
Wherever you go and whatever you do,
May the luck of the Irish be there with you."
