Cinquo di Mayo Cinquo

Today is not just a reason to have tacos, fajitas, and margaritas. Although that is exactly what what is on the dinner menu for tonight, sans margaritas. It is a school night after all.
Tonight, the Red Sox are honoring Nomar Garciaparra. #5 gets his moment before the Nation. Very fitting. #5 comes back to Fenway on 5/5. The boys will get a kick out of this. Caz is long over the hurt of The Trade. It was 6 years ago at this point. Being only 5 at the time, the memory has faded. I think the night will spark some memories though. He still has Nomar's picture up on his wall.
The boys did do some ethnic studies in school about the meaning of Cinquo di Mayo. Which is good. They can teach me about it. We didn't cover that in grade school that I can recall. And apparently, you won't be able to study it in AZ either. Not public school kids at any rate.
