Confessions of a Fugitive Mind

Five on Friday for March 17, 2006

1. Are you Irish?
: I think so. My paternal grandmother has hinted at it and never fails to remind me that one of her sisters had red hair whenever she sees mine dyed red. Even so, it's probably not enough to make a big deal over.
2. Are you by any chance wearing green today?: I am. A bright kelly green even.
3. What kinds of special things do you do to celebrate St. Patrick's Day?: I usually try to wear green and I used to try to pinch people who weren't, but I've given that up. Jon has a tradition of making corned beef and cabbage so I'll be joining him in that now that we're married. The crock pot is already on so that it will be ready when we get home.
4. Do you believe in luck? How about fate?: I don't really believe in either, although I do wish people good luck. It's a nice idea, but really, luck is just how you look at the things that happen to you. Ditto for fate. I will admit to liking the phrase "dumb luck" because I think all luck is dumb.
5. What would you do if you found a pot of gold?: Pinch myself. Then take a picture or twelve to document it. Only then would I spend the crap out of it.

Grandma Themm's father, Samuel Oscar Betz was part Irish, his mother's maiden name was Rose Ann Weary or Wheary. She was Irish.
