The reasons one should love St. Paddy’s Day: being whiter than white is OK today – I’m Irish! I feel like I don’t get enough green food colouring in my diet most days I’m celebrating today by eating a variety of green foods: spinach salad, edamame and olives stuffed with jalapeño peppers.

So, yeah, about me and my harbingering1 of mechanical failure. It seems like everything mechanical around me is breaking! If I enter a room, surely something mechanical will burst into flames.
