What has happened to my stamina? OH I got OLD!!

Greetings!!

Well, I knew it would happen to me someday.

I knew I would admit I am getting older. I knew I would realize I just don't bend and move..or HEAR like I used to.

I knew I would be thankful for more days off, and longer vacations.

BUT one thing has not changed about my persona and physical dilemnas...I still am passionate about collecting.

My days are spent a lot of the time thinking about the next coin purchase and how to afford it. I have mental debates all day about IF and WHEN I should submit a certain coins, and why and how I will afford that.

I love the coin hobby. I have spent a lot of time learning about how coins are made, and I think I have read the "ANA Grading Standards" book about a hundred times...just to see more coins.

I can talk and write about this all day long...but nobody seems to know what the hell I am talking about in the "real world" BUT I intend to change that.

I have gotten some friends at work interested in the hobby, and hopefully I can see them change into madmen like all of us here.

Then again....maybe I feel a little old tired and maybe my madman days are numbered?

NAH!!!

Have a great night!!
