Escape...to a faraway land.

Back so soon? I wanted to throw a post up before St. Patrick's
but spent the weekend with family and never got around to it.
Don't regret it though, because I got to spend an excellent Sunday
with my four brothers and their wives (a rarity these days, unfortunately...)
my folks (ditto), and my sister Kathleen, who I adore. We had
a St. Patty's brunch in Greenpoint, Brooklyn complete with corned beef,
cabbage & potatoes (an Irish delicacy).
Once upon a time, when we still lived in Chelsea- my entire family
would come in from every borough on St. Patty's day and we'd
totally celebrate the day-and not as a reason to get shit-faced, either.
My mom would dye any T-shirt we had green, we'd dance to the Dubliners,
and watch "The Quiet Man"...Sunday brought back a lot of those memories...
Here's a new KennaSketch- it's been awhile- I forgot how much I missed drawing her...
she came to my job on Friday when her school closed due to a freak blizzard...
I asked her to show my designers the "Hard Knock Life" skit she performed at her school talent show and, holy crap! she busted out singing and dancing right there!
I didn't have to twist her arm or anything!
The department behind ours got up to watch the commotion and pretty soon she had a crowd!
They burst into applause when she was done and the artist behind me says-
"There's no shy in her!"
Where does she get her balls?
I could've never summoned the nerve to do something like that at seven years old!
God Bless!
