Seriously, wouldn't it be cool if I was capable of writing a substantive post on this subject? Or better yet, a book? It would be a bestseller.
But alas, I can't. All I can say is this: Happy St. Patrick's Day. And on that note, this 1/4 Irishman is taking a much-needed blog hiatus (at least a week in length) to actually start serious work on his new book project (for the latest hurricanes/global warming post, see here). In the interest of sanity and productivity alike, I really need a few less things on my plate for a bit. But I'll be back before too long....

Happy St. Patrick's Day, Chris.
While you're busy with the project, I'll be researching how to create a beer with bubbles of just the right thickness to produce a green color by interference -- anything to take my mind off of a book project of my own that needs to be finished already.
Have a productive week. I'll be eager to see that book when it comes out.
Best wishes on the book, and it's understandable about the blog. If you need a guest blogger, feel free to invite someone!
As for green beer... As a member of the Student Union government, I wound up stuck pumping green beer one St. Patrick's day for several eternities. I don't like beer to begin with, and after that, I despised green beer with a passion.

Rob, not a bad idea about the guest blogger....
