Silly Season ends for me and The Flyin' Column on Saturday in Rome, NY at St. Peter's. A combined Italian and Irish parrish so they celebrate both St. Joseph's Day and St. Patrick's Day together.

The Irish and the Italians are an obvious mix. Both countries are mainly Roman Catholic, both names begin with "I", The only people to buy the Thompson Light Machine gun were the Mafia and the IRA, When the red in the Italian family's flag by the door fades to Orange everyone thinks an Irish family lives there. The Irish speak Gaelic the Italians speak Garlic, the comparissons are nearly endless.
