You are correct, it is Cahill. I have also read the other books in his hinges of civilization series. My favorite was the one about Jesus.<br /><br />Teresa -- I will have more in another post.<br /><br />Chrissy -- I was afraid I was going to miss it. I need to be in Puerto Vallarta on Wednesday and Thursday. But I am getting a full view of what goes on this week. It is great.<br /><br />Anonymous -- Yup. Two out three ain't bad.<br /><br />Joe -- the tourists tend to hide in the back. The front line is always Mexican -- and young. And me. Old and stupid. But looking for the adventure -- and the perfect shot.<br /><br />Mx Sailor -- Are you docked in Barra? I was over there tonight for the circus. Those bombs could make a sailor nervous.<br /><br />1st Mate -- I have been waiting all year for this. Jiggs loved fireworks. But these would probably have been too much for him.Steve Cottonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00468378507171761868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2289482511228853984.post-40065590917654611442010-03-11T23:15:31.571-06:002010-03-11T23:15:31.571-06:00I forgot it goes on for a whole week!

San Patricio week is awesome. I love the rodeo and watching the drunken men trying to stay mounted on their dancing horses.

I will never drink green beer or attend a St Patty's day parade again without remembering this great saint. Author?
