You know, I picked up a copy of that in '76, and still haven't read it... I guess it was the tail end of my Camus obsession, and I just never got to it. But I transport it from place to place rather than getting rid of it, so I guess there's still hope.

Well, I'm not into first printings except for particular favorites, like this one. In general, it's the cover design and such that attracts me. Although, if it's not an author or book I enjoy for the content, it's hard to justify adding a book to the shelves. What I have is more of an accumulation than a collection, really. I've collected comic books, coins, stamps, and vintage paperbacks in the past; I'm kind of between obsessions at the moment. This has mixed results; I feel like something is missing, but on the other hand, I'm not broke all the time...

I just noticed something interesting on the pool site. You see the blurb urging you to check 'our experts' picks before making your own? I just looked; the 'expert' with the best record on straight up games would be solidly in last place in our pool. That makes me feel a little better!

A thin year for me; the collecting bug is kind of dormant right now. Well, not completely; I did finally find a first printing of Ten Years to Doomsday by Anderson & Kurland. No biggie, but I've wanted it for decades, so it was cool.

Jeez, I hated the caveman adds from the first time I saw one. I have to confess to liking the gecko, though. This one? Absolutely outrageous the first time; I don't know how it would stand up to multiple plays.

I got New Years Eve, but it's work for the other days. Frankly, now that I'm on my own, I prefer it that way.

Dusty Springfield: Son of a Preacher Man. Holy shit...

Damn it, no one told me Aaron Rodgers was back!

Oops...thanks!

Well, he was there a couple of seasons before Soo died; I think he was there to take up the slack when Vigoda had his Fish spinoff and cut back on the Barney Miller appearances at first. It's a shame that only the first three episodes are available on DVD. Most of the Landesberg episodes haven't been released yet (if ever). He was definitely my favorite of the series (although it's all good), so that's a disappointment.

Here to lodge formal protest.

We might has well have let Conn drop out...making silly picks like KC and Tennessee! Wait a minute...

There was no gum in those packs; those were just cards that skipped through without ink.

Michael did it better.

If only they could just play in their own division! Welcome to the evils of expansion, and the greed that eventually turns all pro sports leagues into a joke.

That explains the short life span...

I honestly thought KCs running game was all they needed against the Chargers. Oh well, that's why I'm so far behind in the football pool...
