Birthday!

It was my birthday yesterday, and I am old.

It was a pretty quiet day. Taught some martial arts, worked, and went home to spend some time with the family. They made a special Pork Chop dinner with potatoes and broccoli, and a delicious Texas Sheet Cake dessert.

For presents, as money is tight these days, I got modest gifts. A batch of homemade Haystack cookies from one son, a picture from another, and a paper boat from the third. My wife got me two Magic the Gathering Boosters, power/toughness dice, and a playmat.

In the boosters the rares were Atris, Oracle of Half-Truths which is a decent Blue-Black gold card, and a Black Gravebreaker Lamia which is only good if I get a deck that cares about things in the graveyard.

One of the boosters also had the pretty alternate art Renata, Called to the Hunt which I really like.

Overall a good day for an old man like me.
