Thanks, jags, and same to you!
As you well know, the holiday will be well-celebrated here in Danneauxville. The 17th is still about 5 hours away here, but there'll be soda bread on the table and some corned beef and cabbage on the plates -- can't wait!
All the best,
Dan. (...who wishes there were similarly "special" days of wide celebration for the English, Scottish, Dutch, French, German, and Hungarian parts of his ancestry as well!)
