when referring to my attitude towrad baseball cards, but does make use of "obsession" freely. Also: "What are you going to live on when you're 80?"

On a more reasonable note, Bob quit collecting beer bottle caps ALL over Chicago (a very wide place!) at a fairly young age, because "I spent so much time thinking about them that I could have used thinking about something else" (He didn't pay to ride the bus; he hitched rides on the back with his bike).

2. Bob should never have given up collecting beer bottle caps. It's so much fun emptying the bottles!
