Gracias, eperryday. Y tu tambien, mi amigo. Forgive me if my Spanish is
substandard; it has been twenty years since my last class.  Love the haiku.  Cervezas and tequila for everyone!!

I appreciated this entry so much...

...that it inspired me to write a holiday haiku.  I think you'll appreciate it...

Three cheers for egg nog                                                                    Whiskey and hot toddies rule                                                              Christmas sweaters suck.

Feliz navidad, mis amigos, and whereever your holidays may take you, don't forget the tequila y cervezas!

I ran a bar for a year. It had 20-foot ceilings, fans, and huge factory-
like windows and the smoke would still get so thick you could write your name in midair...

there is a big window on the side that i open up - and my friend drove past and saw me sticking my head out and said i looked like a horse in a stable!!!  they practically light the next one up with the lit one.  bring on the iron lung

I grew up around smokers. My fiance smokes. My brother's wife smokes.
My brother and I never have.  Funny, huh?

the only relative i dreaded moved to arizona
he was the reformed alcoholic that pretended to be straight / my mother would not serve any booze while he was there / and he was already drunk and she refused to believe it.  i dread my mother-in-laws though - the whole entire family smokes - even the children - maybe i should wear a gas mask this year.
