Well, it's our birthday tomorrow and you're another year older Martin and if I'm not mistaken you are almost 30.  I'm 27 so I'll be there soon.  What did you get yourself and did you get any other nes related goodies?  I'm totally broke right now so I haven't been spending much on nes stuff but my wife did get me some fire crotch red Nintendo PJ pants and Link and Zelda Pez dispensers.  I'm going to break out the old famicom av and get a couple of hours in.  One thing that has really hurt my collecting is that the one place that I would pick most my games up from hasn't gotten any new games in in a while.  I know I could try harder to find games in the wild but I haven't gotten out to the flea markets lately.  Anyways, I'm going to watch the White Sox with my dad, play nes, eat cake, and watch Braveheart on Laserdisc. I'm such a sucker for retro technology and I've heard that Bravehearts actually one movie that looks closer to the theatrical release on LD as opposed to DVD.  Live it up friend.

Hey, happy birthday man!  Thanks for all you've done for the nes community!
