It's St. Patricks In Punta Gorda -- Getting Ready to Party

It's a Sunday morning in Punta Gorda, but  it's also the 17th of March and right about now the Irish and want-to-be Irish among us are getting ready to head for their favorite pub to lay claim their barstool or close in spot near a tap or bandstand all prepped to drink a lot of Guinness, eat some beef which has been languishing in beer and spice, and dance a jig or two.  Because right about now it's St. Patrick's Day in Punta Gorda.
