Tul, thanks for the Cinco de Mayo facts. I was one of the gringos who thought that was an important Mexican holiday. Next time I get drunk on that day I hope I remember why. Otherwise, since it's July 9th today happy birthday to my dear sister E, and my dear friend P < he's the one behind me on the sliding board in the class picture from kindergarden and who turned me on to Bob Dylan and fine weeds. |
