National Margarita Day is Friday, Feb. 22. It might seem odd that I would post this — I don’t like tequila. But when I saw the list of sponsors for the day — see below — I had to stand up  and take notice. So come Friday, make mine one of those blackberry delights  from Longhorn Steakhouse with vodka — not tequila.

As my cartoon friend, Speedy Gonzales would say, “Andele, Andele! Arriba! Arriba!”
