Ode to St. Urho

Loa, Amar, Megh, Nico, and I boycotted the St. Patrick's day party, at the neighbors. There plan was to be drink all day. We hold nothing against St. Patrick only we do not need cultural excuses to get drunk. Then Jodi told us about the Finish St. Urho who is an invention of a Finnish-American who apparently casted grasshoppers out of Finland by the power of his loud voice. Jodi says St. Urho's feast is supposed to be celebrated by wearing the color Royal Purple. "Grasshopper, grasshopper, go from hence to Hell!".


Nico, Amar Loa and I made ghost and star shaped sugar cookies saw a movie and ate pizzas (in between peeped out to see how the neighbors are getting drunk). Unfortunately, I have no pics of the cookie making but do have some of the time earlier in the morning when I was playing in the snow. By the way, there was a huge storm the day before with 12 inches of snow and freezing rain. can you believe 12 inches of snow two day after we had touched 50 F after months?!! I spend some time listening ‘piya basanti re kahe sataye aaja’.









That's my neighbor's car.....someone really used super brain power to shovel the snow!
