It may be a coincidence that National Rum Day falls on my wife’s birthday. But, I’m not so sure it’s not Karma. Meg enjoys a glass of wine or six, but she won’t balk at the occasional Mojito or Rum Punch, or six. Maybe it’s her Irish-German heritage, but well… you know.

Anyhoo, today is the big day to celebrate her launching another adventurous trip around the Sun, made better by dinner in a fine restaurant that hopefully makes decent Mojitos. If not, there’s always Meg’s “go-to” beverage. A nice glass of White Zin or Chardonnay. Maybe Sangria? Depends on the entree.
