I feel kind of like Alfalfa did when he said, "then the clouds opened up and God said, 'I hate you Alfalfa.'" I just got the word that the ides of March came early this year and stabbed me in the back. St. Patrick's Day is officially cancelled. There will be no merriment, no song, no jig, and no leprechaun. The Avalanche has reneged and will not allow me use of their restaurant-and I have no other viable options. Just as I was feeling better and thinking maybe I could really get on with my life and host a party like gold ol' pre-cancer times-I get hammered back into reality. It's not in the cards for you fella. On the brink of redemption, damnation rears its ugly head yet again. So now what do I do? I guess I put all my eggs in one basket this time and took a shot-but it caromed off the edge. Pour a little on the sidewalk for a fallen friend would you? I guess Paul Newman was right.
I suppose I sound a bit melodramatic, but I've always been a little theatrical, plus I spent over 4 hours at the docs today-mostly waiting around. But as you can see I'm trying to deal with continued disappointment in a healthy way, with humor (see Randy Newman clip above), and with candid online conversations about my feelings.

Man that SUCKS! I miss the 'ol leprechaun days(and we must not forget cupid) at the BC. I am sorry it fell through. Keep your chin up friend! The sun will come out tomorrow! Maybe you will find a pot of gold at the end of a rainbow.
The Puls I know is not going to take this debauchery. Protests need to be held at this "avalanche" Let me know the address and I will be first in the picket line...how dare they discriminate against short people (And Irish people) It would be unfortunately ironic if an avalanche took them out of business.....
Isn't hacksaw a lawyer by now? can't he do something?!?
Short People? Remember that one time you fell over on your bike by the railroad tracks because your legs couldn't reach.
They don't know what they're missing- that is a big draw for people. Don't they know the true meaning of St. Patrick's Day? Oh wait, I guess it would be the spreading of Catholicism.
Oh the humanity, makes me want to go sit on the dock of the bay (it is only a few minutes from my house, thanks Otis Redding). Sorry Puls, that was always out best party. You can't do it in a church building? My family always has parties there on Christmas and Thanksgiving, you pay tithing.
I am officially boycotting all Avalanche restaurants from here on out. In fact, I'm boycotting them from the day I was born, cause I've never been there. Well if you want to hold the party in NC, I could probably find a venue buddy.
