For me, this is the perfect embodiment of Daniel Jackson, selfless, unaware hero. Even on his birthday, Daniel is always thinking of others and how to help. *happehsigh*

Excerpt:
JHe sighed. Checking his watch, he saw that it was well past noon and knew Jack would be furious with him. They had been scheduled to go to a baseball game an hour ago, something fun for a change, and even though Daniel couldn’t care less about sports, the date was about the team spending time together. Sam and Teal’c were most likely already at Jack’s house, and O’Neill would be tapping his foot, waiting impatiently to leave for the ball park.

Colorado Springs didn’t have a team, so they were planning to drive to Denver in Sam’s car. Now, with Daniel’s alarm clock having passed quietly away sometime in the night followed by the apparent death of his car, it seemed they were either going to be very late or miss the game completely... and as usual, it was his fault.

Reaching into his pants pocket, he pulled out his cell phone and flipped it open to call Jack.

The batteries in the phone were also dead.

"Three strikes, and you’re out," he said aloud.
