You probably think I’m going to take this opportunity to say “Happy Birthday” to a man who apparently has found a magic helmet that instantly makes him look 15 years younger when he puts it on.
But this isn’t about Brett Favre’s 40th birthday. Today is also the anniversary of the birth of my wife, who puts up with a hell of a lot as I continue to let this tiger whose tail landed in my grasp drag me across the floor of the jungle.
At the risk of sounding like Jon Gruden and other coaches who wear their supposedly endless work hours as a badge of honor, I really do pretty much work all the time.
And she realizes it, she accepts it, and she fully supports it. So I’m taking some time off later today as we celebrate her birthday, and as I try to find a gift that properly reflects everything she does for me and for our son.
The only problem is that there’s nothing at any store that can even come remotely close.
So happy birthday, Jill. And thanks for putting up with the fact that 3 million members of PFT Planet get a lot more of my time and attention on a day-to-day basis.
