Great post Joshua - it's been nice having you as a more active net54 forum contributor over the past few months. I'm glad to hear that you are (now) taking what life throws at you in stride.
I wish I had been part of those glory days you speak of. Thankfully, we can still get your flea market experience any time by jumping on the 'Bay and looking for diamonds in the rough! I'd consider giving up my gall bladder for an opportunity to have had hobby chats with Merkin!! His collection was incredible!! I'd prefer to keep my kidneys, though!
