It's Cinco de Mayo, and for those who no hablo espanol, the fifth of May. Generally celebrated as a Mexican heritage day, we chose it as a reason to drink lots and talk in foreign accents... hey, that's just like St. Patty's day!!! People think Americans can be too conservative in their views, but we'll adopt any holiday if it gives an acceptable reason to party. Long live the melting pot mentality!
So to celebrate, I met a friend of mine at one of the greatest influences from Mexico: the mexican restaurant. I don't see how this country ever got along without the simplistic but delicious creations of the tamale, burrito, and the classic taco. Since it was during lunch, I had to abstain from any liquor, but we still had un tiempo fantastico. It seems at times we have grown distant, but when we are together, all that falls away and we converse about whatever comes to mind. The laughter, the stories, the genuine outpouring... it all seems to go by so fast. es la vida.
So this evening I've made up for missing out on drinking during lunch. Large forzen margaritas are the perfect way to end a day in honor of Mexican heritage. Salud, amigos!!

Guess I'd better take off.
I like to gamble, but only with money that I can lose and not feel bad about. I had to teach myself craps but the good news is it's not so bad once you learn it and it has the best odds in the casino other than poker, which is at least partially a skill game.
How about that. . . Muscle Shoals is near my Grandma's over in Courtland. That's a long drive from Arkansas, but you know, I guess not. . . only a couple of hours from Memphis, which I know because I did a project in south west Tennessee with AquaGlass once,.
