Happy Birthday to me.

First, a little background. I'm an Architect with a small office, (2-3 guys), and in the last ten years have had roughly ten different employees. Until last year, when I hired a young intern, (oxymoron?), not ONE knew, (or cared), ANYTHING about football or the NFL. Or red wine...or cigars...or even BEER!:bored:

Anyway, Ryan (24), is a huge Packer fan, drinks red wine and evn has an occasional cigar :D , and we had a lot of fun talking football last year.

Last year he attended a Packer-Bears game, (guys, as you know, as fierce as it was, Rams - Niners PALES in comparison to this game), as he has an uncle who lives in Green Bay.

When the schedule came out this year, he showed up one Monday morning with "Guess who the Packers are playing October 8th?

Replied I, (sharp as a tack as usual on Monday morning) Uhh...I don't know...uhh...let's see...umm...the Rams? After which, I mumbled something about "that would be kinda' cool to see", as Lambeau's the NFL's version of Mecca, IMO, and as I recall, our last two meetings were both lopsided in different directions.

Anyway, for those of you who haven't guessed it by now, (and even for those who have - I'm NOT making a long story short!), I turned 59 July 2nd, and for my birthday, (at Ryan's suggestion - that boy's got a job as long as he wants), my wife bought me airfare and tickets to the game. Can't wait.

Sidenote - since "it's only the Rams", tickets were 'only' $275.

Had it been the Bears, or even the Vikings, they would have been $500-$600.

It's the Rams' fifth game, so they should have shaken the rust off and acclimated themselves to Linehan's vision...or maybe not...

In any case, I am REALLY looking forward to it, and will report best I can upon my return.

Cheers y'all.

What an AWESOME birthday gift.....What a great time you will have and obviously I hope that the RAMS kick butt for you there and for all of us as well!!! That's majorly cool that your wife put that together for you. I really think she's a keeper!!! Kudos to you on the great taste in your Wife choice and your NFL choice of our RAMS!!!

PS: Just a little girlie advice, you kinda owe her here!!! hehe shhhhhhhhhh :D

Wow! Thats a great present! I hope you have a great time. I know I had a great time when I went to my first Rams game last year (Rams vs Jags).

Good Luck man and Happy Birthday!

Most excellent, VR! Two thumbs up -- one for your wife, one for you.

Will surely look forward to your Packers / Rams gameday. GO RAMS! :ramlogo:

Happy belated birthday to you too! And many more.

Happy B-Day, and thats an Awesome gift!! Now, what are you gonna give your wife for her B-Day? How can you match a Rams Game?

Vegas,
When the weather cools take your wife to the Valley of Fire - walk around and see the sites and the hieroglyphics. Then take her to a nice lunch or dinner in Mesquite.

How do you know she didn't owe me from HER birthday LAST year?:<>
Actually, you're right, I do. I'll run some things by you , and see which one(s) I should go with.

Excellent!!!! I don't know what your wife enjoys but I think it would be cool to treat her to a day at a spa where she is pampered for the day. Just a suggestion!! :)
