having a great life in spite of everything

The current highest bid for Drew Brees’ signed and game-worn jersey is $3,540! The next highest item right this minute is $1,500 behind that, Maurice Jones-Drew’s helmet (also signed and game-worn). I wonder why the bids are so high for the jersey, is it because of the pink captain’s patch? Or perhaps because the Saints are doing so well this year? It’s easy to like the Saints, even if you’re really the fan of another team, they’ve never been a serious threat and so don’t have any serious rivalries. Or maybe it’s because everyone likes Drew Brees? I can’t help but like Drew Brees myself. Even though he played for Westlake in high school—he was young and impetuous, and probably just didn’t know any better. Anyway, his sweaty jersey is raising some big bucks to fight cancer, so that’s a good thing.
