Thank you everyone for the birthday wishes! They are all much appreciated. Was surprised this morning by my better half when I opened my closet, only to find that my Donovan McNabb NFC Pro Bowl jersey was autographed by him. Tough to have a bad day after that. He's my favorite active athlete and takes a back seat only to The Admiral, David Robinson.
Headed out to dinner @ newly opened Del Frisco's in Center City with my folks and the future in-laws. I'm hearing whispers of another surprise gift. Can't wait.
Thanks again for the well wishes. It was a most pleasant day, made even better by everyone here.
PS. My Birds are stringing a few key wins together here, as predicted. I like to look at it as the 'dangling of the carrot'. I have a different feeling about this year though. Getting healthy and hitting stride at the right time.
...Praying for them to keep playing this way and for TB to beat the Falcons this weekend so that we control our own destiny.
EDIT:: I was floored, when after dessert, my brother came from the back (bar-back there) with a football signed by the 2008-2009 Eagles roster. I almost lost it. My mom said my face turned white as a ghost. Best gift EVAH!
