Did you know there's a pub in central New York with a special door just for Leprechauns?

Have dinner in the New York castle. Better yet, have dinner in their dungeon or attend their Murder Mystery Dinner Theatre.

St. Patrick's Day is the celebration of Christianity's arrival in Ireland, through the teachings of their patron saint. March 17th marks the anniversary of the death of the Saint Patrick, who also drove the snakes out of Ireland. The early spring celebration is usually filled with plenty of shamrocks, bagpiped parades, green beer and a healthy portion of corned beef and cabbage. This year, if you are a Catholic, your corned beef is in jeopardy.

I don't usually latch onto these nature shows. I'm more of a Shark Tank or music specials kinda guy.  But this, I have to agree, was fascinating to watch.

26-year-old Lena Lupari is from Ireland and she's going blind. I feel bad because it was totally avoidable! The reason Lena is losing her vision is that she spent the past several years drinking 28 cans of Red Bull a DAY.  28 per freaking day...

It's so amazing to have a supporter like the great NY Senator Hugh Farley on your side, and he has been a great friend of the show for many years.  St. Patrick's Day wouldn't be complete without him coming on the air with us and serenading our listeners with a classic Irish song.

There is something about this photograph that may be like no other that you've ever seen.  Can you pick it out?  (You won't believe the answer!!!)

When college teams starts playing football it is a sign that Fall is on the way. This year Notre Dame started their football season on the road in Ireland.

As you know, the President just visited Ireland yesterday. Overall it was a great event. The people there came out in droves to see President Obama. He was very much like a rock star. He had a great speech, he visited a pub and had a pint of Guinness and also saw the house of his ancestors. Perfect right? Well, no.

You know the common complaint about watching golf on TV.  It's worse than watching paint dry.  Even the Masters, as exciting as it was,  I grew a full beard waiting for it to end.  Well, take heart, impatient TV watchers.  Welcome to Power Play golf...

Around the time of St. Patrick's Day, everyone whips out their green, sticks a "kiss me I'm Irish" pin on, drinks a Guiness and claims to be Irish so they have an excuse to party hard and do the Irish jig.  However, for the real Irish folk, we can't help but feel a little insulted because there is more to being Irish or at least pretending to be Irish than just those three things.
