The beer commercials on TV and print are advertising specials to draw in customers for their drink-a-thons.
And here I am, once again thinking of how this day isn't about a hijacked Mexican holiday for me. Rather, it's a celebration of the day when Jordan, our youngest son, came into our lives when we adopted him on May 5, 1988, when he was a little over four months old.
I scrolled back through the archives and found what I wrote about him and this day two years ago. Don't think I can say it any better than this, so here's an encore: "Another reason to celebrate Cinco de Mayo"
Since then, Jordan Emilio has joined the Army, gotten engaged and married, been assigned to Fort Bliss in El Paso and gotten a transfer to Joint Base McChord-Lewis near Olympia, Wash., where he's stationed now, about 100 miles north of us.
The photo? Taken at Lost Creek in November 2009, the day he married Jamie outside Medford, Oregon.
