1. Safety and Festivities: Happy St. Patrick's Day! A lot of us will be going out to celebrate this wonderful Irish holiday sharing good food and...good drinks. Please be careful. Choose a completely sober designated driver and be sure to charge your phone completely before leaving your house. Also, having a well-balanced meal before festivities commence (and especially during) is a wise choice. Don't rely solely on the luck of the Irish to make smart decisions tonight!

3. Billboard Number One: Today in 1971, Janis Joplin's "Me and Bobby McGee" topped the charts. I thought this was an appropriate selection for today's column, as today is a great opportunity to remember our Irish cohorts! Joplin's version is not the original cover, but it remains the most famous.
