And in this age of Diversity… although they weren’t Irish… today, we also salute two of my favorite performers, the Schmenge Brothers - SCTV’s John Candy & Eugene Levy! The Boys always celebrated St. Patrick’s Day in their home country of Leutonia by performing one of their big Polka hits - which I listen to every St. Patrick’s Day - - “Cabbage Rolls & Coffee” Mmm Mmm Good!!!!!

A tech start up company in London has created an “Invisibility Shield” that redirects light particles to render object or people behind the Shield “Invisible”.

Hotel industry experts say things are getting back to normal as the Pandemic winds down - with one exception: Housekeeping. They say that most hotel chains have given up on making your bed everyday and if you don’t want wet towels on the floor, you’ll have to hang ‘em up yourself.

- What’s next? Motel 6 Won’t leave the light on for us anymore?
