Margarita night!

The salty circle around your cocktail glass. The pleasantly placed lime in the center of your beverage. The chance your server will hand you "frozen" when you actually asked for "on the rocks."

These are the reasons I love margarita night.

It doesn't take long to learn that virtually every Mexican restaurant in Columbus hosts margarita night on Wednesdays. A little weird? Yes. You'd think they'd go for a little more diverse marketing setup.

But I really can't criticize it too much. Margarita night always seems to coincide with my week's most draining day. After work, I look forward to devoting an entire hour to decisions only as complex as lime versus strawberry.

Which is why you can catch me here tonight.
