Swimming Pools, Movie Stars

I am well on my way to my first million thanks to the fine people at e-bay. Before/During/After the big move we have been thinning the herd as they say. Anything we have not opened, used, seen or known we have had over the past 10 years we got rid of. Clothes, books, games, toys, knick-knacks, cards, movies, odd shit you accumulate over 12 years of marriage and 34 years of life. We went through and donated to GoodWill, held 3 Garage Sales, put aside and repacked or displayed sentimental/cool stuff and tossed a lot of shit. However some of the good/cool stuff we did not want yet held more value than .25 at a garage sale we held until today. Now we have some pretty good stuff to place on e-bay. Last week we had our first auction, 30 packs of comic cards, cost to us FREE, final price at auction $51.00. Not too bad for a newbie. Several thousand more auctions like that and we will be laughing to the bank with a cool million.

The Olympics have started and we are trying to enjoy as a family. I am a little biased as I worked for NBC through several Olympics and hate with a passion Costas and those over dramatic biographies. We spend 5 minutes on some package telling us he said he wanted an Olympic Metal when he was 6, and told his mother on her death bed he would win, and lost 3 toes in an accident and fought back to compete here in the home of the modern day Olympics and then watch for 53 seconds as he loses, oh well, next.....

Me I dig the odd stuff: table tennis, equestrian, in winter curling, stuff like that found on Bravo or MSNBC this year. There are only so many chicks doing flips or laps of the pool I can watch. But no matter what your favorite sport or event the main thing is to watch and cheer and root for our country and enjoy the spirit of competition. Oh and beat the Russians (sorry 80's mentality)!!!!
