Confessions of a Fugitive Mind

Five on Friday for May 5, 2006

1. Can you explain the significance of Cinco de Mayo?: It's the day the Mexicans defeated the French, their overly ambitious creditors.
2. Do you speak Spanish? How well?: Not at all. I can understand some of what I read, but I'm terrible with the spoken word. It's on my long list of things I'd like to learn.
3. Have you ever been to Mexico?: Can't say I have.
4. If you could commemorate one of the "battles" in your own life, which would it be and why? How would you celebrate?: I think it would be fun to celebrate my continued battle with depression on the darkest day of the year. I'd like champagne, berries, pastries, and sparklers to brighten things up.
5. What is your favorite way to enjoy tequila?: In food, like lime tarts. There are so many great recipes out there. Otherwise, it makes me think I'm licking a dirty ashtray.
