S! If I had hair this would be the week I would pull it out for sure. Luckily for me I have dodged that bullet and took preemptive measures by just shaving it all off. I don't have a ton of time today however with it being Friday and all I wanted to get my weekend specials out there and just my general 2 cents worth. This weekend definitely has potential to be great. I mean there is the Post Cinco de Mayo group that have jobs etc so they are not permitted to imbibe on Thursday but will certainly celebrate the Mexican holiday a day late. There is the Kentucky Derby and plenty of people will stop and grab a beverage while making a side bet on the ponies. Then of course there is Mothers Day on Sunday. If you forget to do something special for your mother well let's face it your are a bad seed and you should burn in hell... I mean the poor woman suffered through 9 hours of labor uphill in the blizzard and you had a huge head! I digress... So here are a few special drinks to celebrate the days ahead. May they all be sunny and maybe even profitable.
