He Remembered, Did You?

Today marks my 42nd year of life. Yes, it's my birthday and I will party if I want to. But, at 42, who parties anymore. You are just hoping at this point something else doesn't ache when you wake up.

Curse you lower back!

So, my form of partying at this age is having the day to myself, drinking some coffee (takes a sip), and putting up a new post on here. Otherwise, I don't have much planned. I have spent every birthday like this pretty much so anything outside of this would be a surprise.

Speaking of surprises, I got this mail day in the mail a week ago and I suspected it might be my birthday gifts from blog reader/friend Oren, so I didn't open it until this morning. He never forgets it.

*takes another sip*

Oren once again just like he does every year, hits the nail on the head with my birthday gift.

First up, he sent some packs,

Plenty of variety here. I have opened some of the packs and will post results in my Coffee Break segment.

Malcolm Gladwell is a journalist and writer.

The Shep! I don't have this autograph of him either. I wished he had stayed retired as a Giant but he had some great times in Tampa last year.

I have a couple other Electra rookies, but not the bowman Chrome one. Awesome card. I wished they made more celebrity cards like this.

This is one half of the Sklar brothers who are comedians and used to host the show Cheap Seats which was on ESPN Classic channel.

Another new Rhett Bomar.

And speaking of new, Eli! I have a couple others but not this green one. Oren finds another new one for me.

Still one of the greatest catches ever in NFL history, I think Tyree's helmet catch was better, I still watch and re-live this moment time after time. If Odell had stayed on the Giants, kept his head on, stayed healthy, he may have been one of the most dominant receivers EVER. He was that dominant on the Giants. But, he got traded away and everything was messy after that.

Thanks again Oren for the birthday gift and thinking of me.

*takes a sip before finishing up today's post*

Early in the day only woke up with a new small back ache, so that's gotta be good news right? Maybe 42 will look good on me this year. I hope. Haven't checked my hair count yet either, but maybe I will just leave that alone and stick with the positives.

Have a great day everyone.
