Had a fun St Patricks day here in San Francisco. On Friday we went to the Genentechs Ho Ho. It was a celbration of Irish heritage. They had Irish step dancers, manditory Bag Pipers and of course lots of beer.
The kids and Carina came down and had a good time. Deirdre had her face painted and Liam and Patrick had swords made by a clown who specialized in making objects out of ballons. Friday was a nice start of the weekend.
Saturdays after Deidre and Patrick had Piano lessons we were off to the St. Patricks Parade in San Francisco. It was a little disappointing, we were either in the wrong location or the parade was not organized very well. We saw several groups go by but they did not perform, we moved but still did not have much luck. We decided to leave and were greeted by a $50 parking ticket- Thank you San Francisco police department, we are glad you are on the job!
On Sunday we finish off another room by buying a Dinning Room set over Craigs List. Patrick and I rented a truck and drove to San Jose to pick up the pieces. When we got home we unloaded everything except the t0p of the China Cabinet, I asked my neighbor Walter to give us a hand which he did. He was a former pitcher for USC and he see himself as a bit of an athlete. Well unfortunately he "treeked" his back helping me move the unit. Felt bad about that. Later we went to a party at Walters for his sons 13th birthday and his back was still hurting.
