Visa Lounge - More Athletes

My children start each day, during the London 2012 Olympics, with free breakfast at the Visa lounge. It isn't because the breakfasts are personally made by Iron Chef Morimoto. At least I don't think they are. They are good just not the main reason to start at the Visa lounge. My children start their day there because each day there is a raffle for Olympic event tickets. Another reason is that each day there is a different American Olympic athlete at the lounge.

Over the last two days they met Summer Sanders

and Jenny Thompson

and won two swim caps autographed by Michael Phelps. Which they traded for event tickets.

Thank you Visa!

St. Patrick's Day - Shamrockin'?



Did I miss something?
When did St. Patrick' Day become a costume event?
How do green beads relate to the Holy Trinity?



Is this just a logical morphing of the holiday?  As in the use of the word myth to mean lie or fun used as a noun?

I guess, as an old man, I have become conservative when it comes to some things.

I have to admit that shamrock covered zentai is fun.
