Happy St. Patrick's Day! I haven't had any problems with getting pinched today--since my entire uniform is various shades of green. I did, however, take a great risk by wearing my green "Luck of the Irish" socks (not NPS standard wear) today. But, that luck must have been with me, as I did not get in trouble. I recently got in trouble for using the word "yes" too much at work. I was told that the only time I can say "yes" is when answering a question. Would they rather that I say "no" to everything? I guess so. 'Tis a strange, strange place, this Lincoln Home. The Lincolns had two Irish girls who worked at their home as "hired girls," so that's kind of St. Patrick's Day-ish, and the Irish Brigade played an important role in the Civil War. I am feeling very Irish today. Soon I will post pictures from the fun trip that my ranger friends Crystal, Melissa, and I took to Nauvoo on Monday--it was awesome!

Luck o' the Irish

Happy St. Patrick's Day! I enjoyed your green post. Maybe you ought to start saying, "yeah" instead of "yes." That's sounds pretty silly to me. What were you saying "yes" too much about?
