Leprechaun Love

Why I’m celebrating St. Patrick’s Day this year–with extra gusto:

Twenty-five years ago on St. Patrick’s Day, my wife went insane. Instead of screaming and running out of the church, she married me. So St. Pat’s Day is always a major event in our home.

Watchmen Part 1

Watchmen Part 1
