That is what that Disney movie would have been called if it was filmed on St. Patrick's Day in Chicago. I recall watching that movie in my grade school's gymnasium while sucking on a tootsie pop. I loved that movie.
So Saturday was St. Patrick's Day and if you've ever been in Chicago on that day, you know the mayhem that goes on in this city.

But just becuase it was a "holiday" doesn't mean I didn't need to get a training run in. The weather was a gorgeous 80 degrees, so EVERYONE was out. Even the kayakers were decked out in leprachaun gear. Every bit of water was green, from the river, to the fountain in Daley Plaza. People were already spilling out of Irish bars at 11:00 a.m, if not earlier.
It was rough at times maneuvering through the crowds of people downtown to get a glimpse of the ectoplasm green river, and I got pegged with beads by drunks riding round the city in trolleys, but it was still pretty fun. Great people watching. Although later in the day when I was the one serving up green beer to these people, it suddenly became a lot less fun.
