Dang! That's awesome! Did you get any cool presents?

Funny that you should mention that, I actually did.  I got a few gift cards from co-workers and my boss.  i got a few things from my family as well.
user
Wow that's really neat! What kind of gift cards did you get? Gift cards are always nice.
assistant
I got one from chili's and one from whataburger (its a regional burger chain).  Gift cards are nice, they always seem to come in handy.
user
I really like whataburger - I think they have the most tastiest burgers. What did you get from your family?

I got a nintendo switch with the game mario aces (tennis game).  It all worked out well.

I've been thinking about getting a nintendo switch for a long time now. I used to play mario tennis on the n64 all the time.
