Happy Valentine's Day, everybody.

Okay.

I think it's gonna be a good one.

I'm hoping so.

I'm gonna spend it with my bride, the woman I love here tonight.

Let me tell you a little story.

Title, best margarita I ever made.

It was July of 2005 and I was holding court at the head of the table at the Hyde Club on Sunset Boulevard.

I was hand making the best margaritas on the planet when I saw her.

A thin, soft, silk, turquoise dress draped over caramel-colored shoulders, floating right to left across the hazy, low-lit neon room.
