I could use a beer about now (Cinco de Mayo post)

I've been so busy freaking out about planning and packing for our trip to La Jolla, California, I forgot today was Cinco de Mayo -- until I heard the latest "the most interesting man in the world" radio ad for Dos Equis beer:



I'm not sure why but I love the line "He can open a pinata with a wink and a smile." (And, for the record, dicing onions makes me cry, which is probably why I'm not the most interesting man in the world, besides not having a penis, but it does make for good eats -- diced onions, not a penis.)

Well, gotta fly (literally).

Happy Cinco de Mayo. (Just hope it doesn't turn out to be a stinko to fly-o what with Obama in town.)

UPDATED: It turns out the most interesting man in the world is a Jewish actor from the Bronx. (Thanks to friend of the blog J. In La Jolla for sending me the link to the New Yorker article!)

  4. I'm in a chair, flying through the sky!

    @Anonymous: Any recommendations? (Sadly, we only have a few days.)

    @Dave S., that was probably my second favorite. Also, read the New Yorker piece I link to in the post for more great lines.

    @The Daily Del Franco, I forgot to check if they have Dos Equis on board, though probably best not to drink and fly.

    @Sugar Daze, do they not have margaritas in Paris? (Actually, I've been craving vodka, straight up, lately. Must be my Russian blood.)

  5. Enjoy SoCal! I lived in Lalaland for a few years, but have never actually been to La Jolla, so I don't have any recommendations. But hey, the weather should be lovely and the ocean freezing cold (there's a current that runs down from Alaska that keeps it that way), so if you plan on spending any time in the water, you definitely want a wetsuit! And I don't know if it's the right season for whale-watching, but if it is, there's lots of places you can catch a three-hour trip to check them out. And there's always a visit out to Catalina!

    Other than that, I can't help you -- although I'm quite envious of you; I'd love to go back and visit my old friends near there!
