Family and I in St. Patrick's Day parade downtown

Go green!

TUCSON -- My family and I enjoyed riding in a convertible in the annual St. Patrick's Day parade today, through south downtown to Armory Park in district 29.

We rolled with the Tucson Roller Derby, and it was fun to wave, smile and yell 'go green!' with thousands of people along the route.

It was a good turnout on a nice spring day. We also had fun seeing everyone at the celebration in the park.

UPDATE, 3:12pm: Speaking of 'go green', my alma mater Michigan State gets the #2 seed in the NCAA tournament midwest region, and will play Friday in Minneapolis. Arizona also gets lucky to be in and will play in Miami on Friday.
