U2 and Green Day slated to perform at the New Orleans Saints home opener next weekend. And the Saints are 2-0 (granted against Browns/Packers)!!!
Surprised to find that today was St. Patrick's Day at John Harvard's Brew House after golf today. So we were serenaded with the likes of The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald and Me and Bobby McGee accompanied by guitar, fiddle and pennywhistle over the din of the Giants/Eagles overtime. Shepherd's pie and ale blended in nicely.
