Going green this Sunday? I am.

Green for St. Patrick's Day, that is.

And you may want to consider wearing a little green on Sunday too—otherwise, there's a good chance you might get "pinched."

As you probably know, St. Patrick's Day is an Irish holiday that recognizes the patron saint of Ireland—Saint Patrick. It's celebrated across the globe...in Canada with shamrocks, leprechauns, and the colour green.

I don't have any family members that are Irish, but I've been going to school with Ryan O'Connor since Kindergarten and his family is Irish. Today in school, h'es going to share some interesting facts about Ireland, St. Patrick's Day, and why we wear the colour green to celebrate. (Just to be safe, I'm wearing green to school. No way I'm risking getting pinched!)

I can't wait for him to talk about leprechauns—I know a little something about those little guys. In the Superman Duffy graphic novel, CLOUD 9, cartoon "me" learns all about them (and climate change) because of a leprechaun named Lucky.

You haven't read that one? No problem! Just contact the Alberta Canola Producers' Commission to score your copy—free to Alberta teachers and schools.

Gotta jet! Have a great—green—weekend! (Mom is making us GREEN pancakes on Sunday morning. They're magically delicious. What are you having?)
