On Saturday night, I prepared to head out for the celebration of Cinco de Mayo. I perused the listings that dotted the web for our area’s best parties and celebrations already underway at this late hour of the day.

As I scoped the offerings, many seemed too weak to hold my attention while some simply did not offer the pleasures of a Mexican beer consumed over dinner.

As we headed off towards our destination by default, I heard Michael say, “You know, Cabildo is playing at The Winchester tonight.”

So, with the click of my turn signal, we moved from right to left and in doing so changed not only my night’s destiny, but also my point of view.

The setting could not have been more perfect. Yes, it could have been warmer, sunnier, etc. But if you have lived in Michigan awhile, then you know that you just have to be patient. The weather here, like my night, can change very quickly.
