ORIGINAL POST DATE: March 15, 2006

Following is the post I wrote that first appeared on March 17th, 2005 on the Moleskinerie weblog. This post was the birth of the blogging bug for me, although it wasn't until many months later that I started my own blog here. I am posting this in time for St. Patrick's Day to celebrate a bit of Irish in the Italian recreation of a French original: The Moleskine.
