Not a bad birthday at all…

Well, another year gone by. I had a great day. The wife made a nice lunch. Then at 5PM we went and watched the boy play some football. With a one touchdown lead the Bulldogs were lined up deep in their own territory (somewhere around the 5 yard line) and facing a 4th down. The coach apparently didn’t trust the kicker to put it deep enough to keep arch rivals County from scoring… so he opted for a run. The quarterback handed off to the boy who ran hard and broke right finding daylight. He gobbled up nearly twenty and got his team the first down they so desperately needed. They were able to move the ball a little more and to run the clock down. It was a 6-0 win, but it WAS A WIN. I’ve taken to calling the boy, “County Killer”.

After the game we headed home for dinner… my fav, tortellini with a nice salad and some pesto and bread… ahhhh heaven. I think they made every variety of the stuff… cheese, sausage, lobster… LOVED IT.

Then we headed out for the girl’s soccer game. She’s a menace on the field… and because she’s the best player on her team she gets double and triple teamed all the time. She had a rough night but she kept her head high and fought hard. It was like she was alone out there, her team was just no match for the team full of allstars that they were facing down. Funny enough the team of allstars wanted the girl on their team but she refused. She didn’t see the point in beating on the league that she is in and not being in competetive games. Their sideline gave it to her a bit, I guess it was payback for her insolence. She handled it well and I for one am proud that she chose not to play with that pack of hooligans. One of the girls screamed the f-bomb when she went down in the goal… real class acts.

After the game it was cake and presents time… probably not a great idea to be eating cake at 11PM. Meh… oh well. It’s my birthday. I got an mp3 player, Battlestar Galactice Season 3 and a collector’s edition of one of the funniest “horror” movies I have ever seen… Bubba Ho-Tep. Ahhhh, yes… a glorious haul.

Anyway, so there you have it… the birthday rundown. So how was your day?
