I need to hear some good news.

This link that Steve B posted in the autograph section was pretty funny: http://www.ebaumsworld.com/pictures/view/84680172/

This is about as good news as possible as a collector. A fellow member sent me all these wonderful cards for absolutely free. It was a medium flat rate box completely full. The only negative is now I have a little over 100 different 55 Bowman cards and am getting the itch to jut finish the set.

To the wonderful gentleman that sent me the cards. Thank you very much.

More good news. I never talk with my sister who lives in Portland, but decided to give her a call yesterday. Turns out she is good friends with the dog trainer who we had thought about using for our coonhound Bedlam...I mean 'Bailey'.

Also, the sun gold tomatoes yielded their first ripe tomatoes the other day, and my girlfriend loves them. She had been buying expensive baskets of yellow cherry tomatoes, so I decided to plant a couple of sun golds. I earned some points for my next bout of bad behavior

That is just so wrong, in so many ways.

It's been a while since anyone has shared some good news. How about it folks.

I'm going to be a great uncle (I guess that will be my title when my nephew's wife gives birth (hoping for a lefty)) in June & I didn't have to do anything...

However, I have been mailing a lot of Babies-are-Us gift cards lately.

My wife threatens to kill me when I do stuff like that. I keep wondering if she would do me in some day.

Hey Dave...hope you're feeling better these days

Nothing special, but I did complete my first pre-war set a few months ago...the T201 set. I first started in the middle of 2011, so it was a small journey for me and I'm very happy with the end result I'm pushing towards a few sets that will take a bit longer, but the journey is where all the fun is, right? I'm hoping the real fun starts in the next five years or so...when my boys are in the 10-12 yr old range and maybe, just maybe, they will get into collecting also. I will support whatever hobby they choose, but I can't help but to push them a little towards this great hobby that we all share

Mike, I appreciate the kind thoughts. I've haven't tried to build a pre-war set. Yet It's nice to see people responding to the topic. It all helps.
