Therefore, [continue to] accept and welcome one another, just as Christ has accepted and welcomed us to the glory of [our great] God. - Romans 15:7 (AMP)

In Honor of St. Patrick's Day
Since I'm half Irish (the rest is a Scots-British blend), I figured I could get away with this one:
An Irishman walks into a bar in Dublin, orders three pints of Guinness and sits down, drinking a sip out of each one in turn.
When he finishes them, he comes back to the bar and orders three more.
The bartender approaches and tells him, "You know, a pint goes flat after you draw it; it would taste better if you bought one at a time."
The Irishman replies, "Well, you see, I have two brothers.
One is in America, the other in Australia, and I'm here in Dublin.
When we all left home, we promised that we'd drink this way to remember the days when we drank together.
So I drinks one for each o' me brothers and one for meself."
The bartender admits that this is a nice custom, and leaves it at that.
The Irishman becomes a regular in the bar, and always drinks the same way: He orders three pints and drinks them in turn.
One day, he comes in and orders two pints. All the other regulars take notice and fall silent.
When he comes back to the bar for the second round, the bartender says, "I don't want to intrude on your grief, but I wanted to offer my condolences on your great loss."
The Irishman looks quite puzzled for a moment, then a light dawn in his eye and he laughs.
"Oh, no, everybody's just fine" he explains, "it's just that me wife had us join that Baptist Church and I had to quit drinking.
"Hasn't affected me brothers a bit though."

Since the Weather Outside is Dreary
Let's re-visit the annual "Galway Days" from a warmer season in downtown Anchorage, shall we?
souvenir glasses
Celtic Treasures' booth
I missed this band's name, but they were good, and had people tapping their feet
a plaque in a sidewalk shop
Grocery items for the discerning Irish chef
a street vendor with his wares
The Paddywhackers
One of the Guinness faeries at Darwin's Theory Pub
Pipes and drums
The Cake Studio (and my omni-present Hawaiian shirt, reflected in the window)
Cupcakes, pastries, and coffee
You'll want to turn the volume down a wee bit
