Can You Guess What I Have In This Bag?
My son Jake gave this bag yesterday and I immediately knew what was inside it. Do you?

No? You must not be a Back to the Future fan then...
It's a replica of the Grays Sports Almanac that was a major plot point in Back to the Future Part II. So cool!
My son got it in one of those subscription boxes where they send you all kinds of geeky stuff every month. For some reason he happened to have two, so he gave me the extra one.
Inside it's just a notebook. No sports results. Marty traveled to 2015 and bought the almanac to use it to bet on sporting events knowing he couldn't loose. Even if there were results, they'd be outdated today and I couldn't win a thing.
In the corner though is one thing reminding you that this is a Back to the Future notebook/almanac...the flux capacitor that made time travel possible in the DeLorean.
I also notice a little hidden nod to the movie on the back. Check out the bar-code. Do you get it?
