“I'd like to see how it all turns out.”

The Poem
A Hundred Years from Now - David Shumate
I'm sorry I won't be around a hundred years from now. I'd like to see how it all turns out. What language most of you are speaking. What country is swaggering across the globe. I'm curious to know if your medicines cure what ails us now. And how intelligent your children are as they parachute down through the womb. Have you invented new vegetables? Have you trained spiders to do your bidding? Have baseball and opera merged into one melodic sport? A hundred years....My grandfather lived almost that long. The doctor who came to the farmhouse to deliver him arrived in a horse-drawn carriage. Do you still have horses?
The Beverage
Margaritas
I would not recommend using a mix for your margaritas. They are a great choice for game day -- delicious, fresh, also tequila. Tequila is great.
Making a margarita is not hard: Three parts tequila. Two parts Cointreau. One part lime. A lime on the rim. Maybe some salt, if you’re into it.
Margaritas are so easy, and Mexican food is great all the time, especially paired with football. That’s what I’m about to have tonight. Don’t buy margarita mix. Just get some good ingredients. Making it well is easier than you think.
Making anything well is probably easier and simpler than you think. Doing a good job is worth it for almost everything.
