“Fill to this line with Margaritas”

“Some People Claim...that there’s a Woman to Blame...”
Jimmy Buffett

  I’m not exactly sure that they are not right...realizing at some point along the way that I had become afflicted with “MARGARITA MADNESS.” I can vividly recall over the years having more than one conversation with my old friend Randy at Joe T. Garcia’s, J. Pepe’s, Mercado Juarez and Esparza’s about building a MARGARITA SHACK. Back then of course, it was only a dream that we shared in the spirit of Jose Cuervo. Randy would build it and I would run it. “If you build it, they will come,” we often chuckled &  laughed, like a couple of kids getting away with something we both knew we shouldn't have. "It would literally be a Margarita Lover's Field of Dreams,” I cried, while trying to sober up after having blown an opportunity to play BIG League Baseball a few years prior.

  Soon thereafter, as fate would have it, we both would marry (he a "lunatic fringe" school teacher and I a "hypochondriac" flight attendant) only to discover during our obligatory blood testing that he was one eighth Cherokee and I, one quarter Jose Cuervo.

  There was little doubt then (after "THE TEST"), that the Margaritashack was MY CROSS to bear, so to speak. Randy had his own to carry, with a half crazed schoolteacher on his hands. So it was, then and there, that I "officially vowed" to begin my sojourn (aka The Soul's Journey) for “THE WORLD’S FINEST INSTANT MARGARITA MIX,” in order to ease the pain and suffering of Sweet-n-Sour Heartburn found in the majority of margaritas served around the world.

  As luck would have it, while I was out screwin' up the aforementioned opportunity to play Major League Baseball and before I embarked upon my now infamous journey, I happened to stumble upon a fearless leader, even though I didn't know it at the time. He first spoke to me on an “album” one night during my college baseball daze in 1981, while I was partying at a prestigious Texas University with Bob “CC” Beach and the infamous Jenny “JB" Bledsoe. 

  I now take it to heart when they always say (who is they?) "that at the end of the road there is a new beginning." Well, it all came back to me like Deja Vue all over again, when some of my closest friends dressed themselves up like "Tacky Tourists" &  literally dragged me out to the old Starplex Amphitheatre (Smirnoff) in Dallas, Texas to hear this guy named Jimmy Buffett. Of course the reason I had to be dragged out to the concert was that we had been partying around the pool all day drinking margaritas, wearing funny hats & grass skirts, while we were singing some song about “Wastin Away Again in Margaritaville” ... and well, to tell you the truth, I have never been the same since. 

  From then on, thinly disguised with a pencil thin mustache as a hail damage roofing consultant, I have traveled thousands of miles and invested all of my dollars (much to my Mother’s dismay) in my QUEST to build you the "MargaritaShack” and to find MY "Lost Shaker of Salt."

  This journey has now literally taken me where no man (nor woman) has gone before and as a result thereof, we are proud to deliver to your doorstep, wherever you may be in this virtual world, what many have called “The World’s Finest Instant Margarita Mix.”

 So now, here we are, twenty years later. I'm relaxing in my favorite hammock, sippin' MargaritaShack.Com Margaritas, thinking back to those first conversations with Randy, the "Field of Dreams" and that first concert when it hits me like a ton of bricks...
If you build it...

"THEY WILL COME!"

So wherever YOU are today, whatever it is that YOU may be DREAMING about
 or HOPING for, I offer just one little piece of advice,

“BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU WISH FOR…IT MAY COME TRUE…”
