Almost Cinco de Mayo!

It’s almost Cinco de Mayo! I grew up in California and have no latin blood, but Cinco de Mayo has been something to celebrate ever since I was a kid – even before I could drink. As a school boy, we used to learn simple Mexican dances, and we’d make simple costumes and do art projects. But I grew up in a part of California that had lots of latinos. To tell the truth, I have no idea why we are so crazy for the “holiday” today. Sure, adults can shake up their favorite margarita recipe and get trashed for a reason. Just like they can drink green beer on St. Patrick’s day. But do people in Mexico celebrate our Fourth of July? I don’t think so…

On that note, it’s time for some tequila. Long live Cinco de Mayo! Ay carumba!
