I'm exhausted. Yet again I'm writing at midnight. I've come to accept that midnight is when I'm most inspired to write. The problem stems from the day's activities, which were strenuous and I will be quite sore in the upper body after my muscles decide to start complaining. Top that off with a lack of food until 10:30 tonight. Yes, I didn't eat - or drink - anything all day. I should have took a break and had some lunch, but I was on a mission and stuck with it until the end.
So, with another dozen emails to reply to and about 40 posts to catch up on from this morning, I'm about to go to bed. (You're reading this at 3pm Pacific time, but remember, it's midnight as I type this.) I hereby provide you with a bunch of cards I picked up on Sportlots toward set building.
One of the dealers used the last two cards as bookends for my order, which is fine by me! They both fit into my World Series awards collection.
Now, I'm tired! Goodnight! Or good afternoon! ... I can't end on that. Here's a video to play me out.
So much to say about this post... I'll start with the top and work my way down:
ReplyDeleteA. You didn't eat until 10:30 last night? Damn... by 4:30 yesterday afternoon, I had eaten a olallieberry turnover (from Gayle's Bakery in Capitola), a slice of olallieberry pie (from Duarte's Tavern in Pescadero), and finally hibachi steak & two bowls of fried rice (from Benihana's). A lot of traveling, but well worth it. Oh, how I love being on Xmas break.
B. You need card #1001? They make sets with over 1k cards now? Where have I been?
C. Can't wait to read your 1998 Topps Etch-A-Sketch post... love these cards.
D. Non-Sports cartoon cards... I've got your back!
E. Fleer stickers... companies need to bring these back.
F. Juggling... one of the things on my bucket list... so far I've managed to master two balls (wow... doesn't sound right), but can't fit the third one in (wow... that sounds worse).
Happy holidays bro!
I love sportlots!
ReplyDeleteFuji:
ReplyDeletea) Yeah. Extremely busy. Go figure - eating awesome food is very important in the weeks leading up to leaving the country! Just not Japanese food - I'll get plenty of that in a month! I don't think I've ever had olallieberry pie, but you reminded me - banana cream and chocolate cream pies! Must have!
b) Somehow. You can blame Upper Deck for this insanity! And it's short-printed!
c) Yep!
d) Yep!
e) Yep!
f) I used to be good juggling two baseballs (one hand - two hands is easy) but never got the third in there. And you have such a dirty mind for a middle school teacher! (And happy holidays to you too!)
AIO: How much do you love sportlots? Do you love sportlots lots?! (Sorry, couldn't help myself.)
What are you talking about? You know I meant tennis balls... right? LOL. If you like any kind of berry pie, then make sure you try olallieberry pie... you won't regret it.
ReplyDeleteWe drove over an hour... just to grab a slice.
The post was great, but the comments got me laughing.
ReplyDeleteFuji: of course! Driving an hour for a slice of pie? Yowsers. Though I've driven an hour or more for things like that before. It takes an hour to get anywhere worthwhile in San Francisco by transit, it seems, so I guess that's the same thing.
ReplyDeletePATP: Agreed - I get some awesome comments!
