I'm having a much needed super fun time with great friends. Came out to meet Dan and Jen's new baby girl Allegra Jane and got lucky with having our good friends Heather and Mark out here at the same time. You'd think it was just one big crawl between changing diapers and downing beers at a long list of Irish pubs, but it's more than that—really. Heather managed to wake up in time and watch the Chicago River turn green on Saturday, so I did a post around it for St Patty's Day today >> St. Paddy’s Day video – Chicago River goes green

I saw something on TV about the greening of the river, and I think what they pour into the river is actually another color, maybe red, but then it turns to green.
