Happy St. Patrick's Day!

 Happy St. Patrick's Day!




I can imagine her saying, "It's St. Patrick's Day! I haven't missed it. The leprechauns have done it all in one night. They can do anything they like. Of course they can. Of course they can."

Happy President's Day!

Since it's President's Day today, I was wondering who was the U.S president when "A Christmas Carol" was first published in 1843.


The non-obvious answer is John Tyler!

Whoever thinks about John Tyler except as part of "Tippecanoe and Tyler Too!"

Noteworthy is that Tyler was the first vice president to succeed to the presidency upon the death upon the death of the president, which happened when Ol' Tippecanoe (William Henry Harrison) died after just 32 days in office.

I do love that Tyler's detractors referred to him as "His Accidency" back in the day!

I wonder if he ever read "A Christmas Carol" to any of his 15 children?
