billroperI am clearly going to be filing an extension tomorrow for any of the taxes that are due on March 15th.
Meanwhile, St. Patrick's Day is rapidly approaching. I have acquired a couple of lovely corned beef briskets, one for this week, one for later, paying at least 50% more than I recall paying last year. Of course, you have to have things to eat *with* the corned beef.
Gretchen was prepping an order for Walmart and wanted to know if there was anything that she should add to it. I suggested seeing if they had a fractional cabbage, since a whole head of cabbage is way too much for us, given that Gretchen is really the only one here who likes cabbage. Actually, I like cabbage fine, but only after it's been converted to sauerkraut, which is maybe not the best St. Patrick's Day pairing with corned beef. But I digress.
They didn't have any, which was a shame, but I'll check for one at the supermarket. As we were continuing the discussion, Gretchen noted that fractional cabbage was a strange combination of words. It wasn't even a good name for a band, like "Urban Vermin" or "Dyslexic Stigmata".
Then I realized -- it's a lousy name for a punk band, but it's a pretty good name for an Irish band.
We won't be using it, so if you need a name for your Irish band, you are more than welcome to call it "Fractional Cabbage". :)
