Killarney was Here

Is it Saint Patrick's Day today? Didn't even think of it. I'm Irish on my mom's side, so I don't have to celebrate saint Patrick's Day. That's just for all you Irish wannabes.

If you're a real Irish boy like my mother's son and you grew up in Ontario, chances are you went to that special Separate School System for Irish Catholic children where you received a proper education about how the sun goes around the Earth and how you will go to Hell for looking at a Protestant girl in her knickers.

Yes, thirty-six years ago on this day, I got up on a stage and belted out an unforgettable rendition of Hello Patsy Fagan before an exuberant crowd of parents, with the kind of pitch and vibrato that would have made Celine Dion jealous. I'm surprised they didn't chop my balls off to keep my voice sounding that good.
