Acacia at St. Philip's (4340 N. Campbell Ave.) kicks off its Martini Mondays special today with half off specialty martinis from 5 to 9 p.m.

They serve a dozen or so specialty martinis, and the outdoor seating overlooking the courtyard is a lovely place to enjoy a cocktail. We tried their espresso martinis made with Van Gogh Double Espresso Vodka, and their chocolate-covered-cherry martinis served in chocolate-swirled glasses this weekend, and both were fantastic.

Call 232-0101, or visit their Web site and click on the "calendar" tab for more information.

Sailor is among the dogs that the folks at Cold Wet Noses are trying to find a home for.

Here's what Sailor has to say at tucsoncoldwetnoses.com:

I am a handsome, noble, dignified, purebred, overweight miniature Pincher or "min pin" as they say. My name is Sailor and I weigh 25 lbs. (should be 2/3's that, who said that?). I think of myself as a gentleman companion, God forbid no screaming children and such. No, I will take the good life, nice little walks, delightful naps on the sofa, a little scratch behind the ears and as for these lazy creatures you call cats, well, they're OK, I don't mind them.
