The St. Patrick's Day Surprise

St. Patrick's Day, as a rule, falls on March 17. This year, it happened yesterday, on the 15th of March. The change is quite reasonable: Holy Monday is on the 17th this year, as well. And there would have been no end of confusion if St. Patrick's Day were to fall on the same day, during Holy Week.

As it is, the confusion is quite over for the year, and the next St. Patrick's Day will be on the 17th, as it nearly always is.

About Norbert, up there. It seems that young Mr. Nerdly was no more aware of the date this year, though the both of us should have been, on which St. Patrick's Day falls. As a regrettable result, he was not prepared, as he should have been, for this year's picture.

And so it was that, late and unready as the two of us were, we quick snapped a picture, and display it here: along with the wish that you had a fine St. Patrick's Day!
