As some celebrate Saint Patrick’s Day today, a little different take to share. For me, the obvious thoughts first go to the Irish People; weird maybe, but that’s what comes to mind initially. I’ve got some Irish Blood in me, I suspect that’s why. Then I think about the man himself, Patrick. Who was he, …
