In times of old, The Furies protected Mother Right. If a mother (or any woman) was harmed, The Furies swooped down and took their vengeance. They were one of the last vestiges of a world that existed before the patriarchy. When we feel righteous anger, it is The Furies who are calling out to us to make what is wrong right again.

Hilaria Day Eve 

Sorry this is so late; it was a crazy day. Mario is better at telling this joke than I am. So I'm turning it over to him. He told me this joke on St. Patrick's Day. I don't know why people tell me all these Irish drinking jokes on St. Patty's Day. I don't drink....Maybe I should.

Sean and Mike are at the local pub having a few beers.

"Are you from here?" says Sean.

"Oh my, yes," says Mike. "I grew up right here in this town."

"Is that a fact? So did I. Tell me, what school did you go to?"

"St. Mary's."

"Heavens," says Sean. "So did I."

"That's amazing," says Mike. "When did you graduate?"

"It was 1964."

"Incredible! I graduated in 1964 too. Tell me this. Who was your first grade teacher?"

"Why it was Mrs. Kelly," says Mike, "as I live and breathe."

"What an amazing coincidence. Mrs. Kelly was my teacher too."

"Saints alive," says Mike. "That is amazing."

The bar maid overhears all this as she serves them another round. She goes to the back room and says, "It's going to be a long night. The Murphy twins are drinking again."
