Roadgeek Birthday Cake

Last weekend, Mary and I went to see my family in Gwinnett County and we celebrated my birthday.

Actually, my birthday was just last Monday (2/18), but the weekend was the only time we could all get together.

I received some really nice presents from everybody (mostly gift cards), but the best thing was what my 4-year-old niece, Stella, picked out for me... a roadgeek birthday cake!!!



I bet that when my sister (Stella's mom) told the bakery folks that this was for a 44-year-old, they may have been ROTFL... but hey, it's my birthday, gosh-darn-it, and I like roads, so NYAH!!!

In appreciation for Stella's excellent choice of birthday cake for her Uncle Steve, I let her keep the vehicles, barracades, and helicopter. Stella, thanks for picking out the really cool birthday cake. (Hmmm... perhaps I can make a roadgeek out of Stella.)

More Roadgeek DVDs

Being a roadgeek and a fan of The History Channel, I recently purchased three (3) episodes of "Modern Marvels" on DVD. Those were as follows...

Chesapeake Bay Bridge and Tunnel
The Mackinac Bridge
Overseas Highway (featuring fellow road enthusiast Robert V. Droz of U.S. Highways).

Since these 3 episodes were among my favorites, I just had to add them to my "roadgeek DVD" collection along with Smokey and The Bandit and The Cannonball Run.

Each of the above videos cost $24.95 apiece and are only avaliable from shophistorychannel.com. Please note, however, that the 3 DVDs in question are DVD-R formatted, which will not play in older DVD players, but will play in PCs with DVD-ROMs and newer DVD players. I found that out when I tried to play it in a DVD player I bought back in 2000 or 2001. Fortunately, we bought a new Samsung DVD/VCR not too long ago and they can play DVD-Rs.

That's it for now, and I'm going back into the den to enjoy my new DVDs. Thanks for reading and please come back again.

P.S. To Kevin Inscoe: Thanks for the birthday wishes via Facebook.
