LESS THAN 6 DAYS AWAY

               

                  Well...I am just less than 6 days from joining the mob shown from this file picture from a past National Sports Card Convention in Rosemont (Chicago) Illinois. I am so excited cause while you read this post I will be currently slaving away at my job at Dollar General & waiting to see my good friend & my collecting brother & in the Blogging world from The Collective Mind Greg. I made a call to him on Tuesday after work to remind him of last minute items he needed to bring along with him so I can enjoy the goodies he has for me as well other stuff prior to the show & go over the game plan for the 30th & beyond only to have me tell me that he is arriving today the 24th of July not the 25th as what I expected I am not complaining at all just if he doesn't pick up one of the last minute items then Ill complain somewhat but I am excited nevertheless so I don't have not bother calling him after work to see him on Friday.  

              I did get some news my boss finally agreed to let me know about my vacation plans even though I had them set since January of this year. She first wanted me to come in work today,Saturday,Monday,Tuesday & then on the 31st come in.......My answer was FLOCKING NO!!!!!! I made my plans & have the support from some of my co-workers & customers as well even you my readers like Fuji & my Little Brother Jeremy & of course Mr Owl & Bo & Angels Tom threw in supporting me just to name a few don't worry Matt & Matt trouble with guys with the same name its hard to describe each separately ( 1 likes the Coffee & the other lives in Virgina)  & of course my new Canadian pal Mike hopefully you'll answer when we call you from the show. So she will allow me to take the 30th through the 6th of August off so I can enjoy myself without remorse even though it is what it is. 

               I want to say to all my blogger friends whom I traded with in the past as well those whom I sent packages to or commented on their respective blogs that I consider you as part of my card collecting family thanks & I mean it I hope I can run into some of you while at the show so if ya see me please lmk & I'll be sure you get the press you deserve in meeting someone like me. Stay tuned as Greg & I showcase or he'll show ya when he returns from his cross-country trip to his account on things he saw & leave it to our respective readers to decide which story made you feel like your there witnessing what we did at those things or got.  

            I am not sure what to expect on what I will finish off or start but know this I will do my best to post about it so for those of unable to attend you can feel like your there with Greg & I every step of the journey. Until then I am reminded of the great Rajah Hornsby once said about signing autographs "Any Ballplayer who doesn't sign autographs for little kids ain't an American, He's a Communist."
