One of the only moments that's stuck with me from The Great Gatsby was a morning-after scene, in which the characters watch the house staff cart away giant mounds of squeezed-up fruit that had been used the night before.

Cinco de Mayo is only one day away! Do you have your plans in place? If you are staying home for the evening, there's no reason to skip the celebration.
