Today is Mr. B’s birthday. We started the day with a hearty breakfast at a favorite restaurant. Steak and eggs were his selection. We read two different newspapers and had to hurry back home. Why, you ask?

 It’s the first FULL day of college football for 2015. The College GameDay program kicked off the festivities so we had to hurry home to watch. I don’t think he could have selected a better day than this one to celebrate.  Yes, he has his favorite team, Auburn University, War Eagle! However, why limit yourself to one game when there is a plethora of games to be seen? He enjoys them all even when the team he’s routing for does not win. Of course, that doesn’t hold true when our favorite Auburn Tigers loose.  If they fail to win it becomes a day of mourning.

A few days ago I mentioned taking him to dinner for his birthday. I was met with silence. Then it hit me, he’d miss too much football if he took time out to have dinner at a restaurant. So I’m picking up Chinese so he can watch and eat at the same time.

This is the easiest birthday celebration I could have arranged!

Happy Birthday Sweetheart.
