When you have a true son of the auld sod in your home on St. Patrick’s Day, naturally you want to celebrate appropriately. We started the day by listening to Don Gabbert’s rendition of that fine old Texas classic—“Tejas Go Bragh!” What! You don’t know that classic Texas song? Take a moment to turn up your speakers and listen for yourself:

A bratwurst wrapped in a tortilla and washed down with a Guinness. That's Texas!
Needless to say, that got us in the mood for barbecue, so after doing the outlet shops we headed toward Rudy’s. It says something about Rudy’s (and about us) that we managed two trips to Rudy’s during Al’s visit.
In the evening we headed down to San Antonio to the Riverwalk. N had heard that the San Antonio River had been dyed green for the occasion, and that was all it took for us. My, my, that was certainly the place to be in South Texas that evening. If everyone wasn’t your friend when you got there, they were by the time you left. Somehow, like iron filings drawn to a magnet, we were attracted to Durty Nelly’s pub, where a raucous crowd was celebrating the holy day with lively liturgical music and green-tinted libations. The piano man there really knew how to work a crowd (I’ve never seen a piano with two tip jars!)
A fine St. Patrick’s Day indeed!
