She'll make you take your clothes off and go dancing in the rain

The most raucous St. Patty's parade is traveling down the street 14 floors below my window at this very moment. Every time I hear a marching band, I have to get up from my desk and check them out. I love a good cadence. The view from up here is amazing, and it's a beautiful sunny (but cold) day. A sea of green-clad parade-watchers and partiers have lined the sidewalks, beads and candy are flying through the air, and I'm sure there's plenty of green beer going around.

One of the bands just played Ricky Martin's "Livin' La Vida Loca." Not very Irish, but a song that makes me want to get my schwerve on and dance nonetheless. Three more hours of productivity, and I am so outta here...
