Sure, the Bears won yesterday, but it was a bad win. Against a team that they should've decimated.
But some good things did come of it...
I got a new Bears jersey (Payton #34), a long-sleeve Bears T-shirt, and some other gameday gear from Katie as the rest of my birthday present. I LOVE 'EM!
I discovered both my camera and camera bag are kosher within the new NFL bags-in-stadiums policy.
I found out that the fact I had three Guinnesses (Guinni?) before 11 a.m. is absolutely fine when attendance at a football game is part the equation.
I used my first ever hand warming packet and loved it.
I learned it is possible to miss an entire quarter of football while waiting to pee.
I discovered that even a bad win is fun when the ticket is free.
I found that when you're a big guy walking around with two other big guys (north of 6'3"), you wind up with a lot of people asking if you're willing to take over on the offensive line for the Bears.
I learned that photography at football games is much more fun with a good lens.
Good times. Good times.
A big congratulations to my brother-in-law Scott and his new fiancee Becca. They got engaged on my birthday.
While I'm happy for them, my birthday's still way cooler.
