2) It's a song from a groom to his homesick bride. Who did you most recently serenade? (Yes, "Happy Birthday" counts.) Singing praise to God.

4) St. Patrick is credited with driving snakes out of Ireland, and to this day the Irish report there are no snakes on their land. Ophiophobia is the fear of snakes. Do you suffer from ophiophobia? Yes!
5) Irish Americans held the first St. Patrick's Day parade on our shores in New York City in 1766. Does your town host a St. Patrick's Day parade? No it doesn’t. And this year, Covid 19 has cut out everything!
6) Leprechauns are a symbol of St. Patrick's Day. These small Irish fairies are said to live in the forest, guarding their gold. Do you more often wear silver or gold? More silver.
7) The signature color of St. Patrick's Day is green. Will you wear green next Tuesday? Yes, probably. I will have my grands here since schools are closed. I will use a 3 leaf clover to teach them about the Trinity.
8) This week's featured artist, Elvis, was the idol of millions. But not the Songfellows. In the early 1950s, a young Elvis auditioned for this gospel group and they refused him. Just as well, as the King of Rock 'n Roll did rather well for himself as a solo. Like Elvis, did you ever interview for a job that you didn't get? Yes, once.
9) Random question: Do you believe women are more emotional than men? I think they can be because of hormones. I was raised to hold my emotions in. It became a source of depression during perimenopause. I don’t hold it in anymore. I also think it depends on a persons personality and upbringing.
