Obtineo

I'm doing something I thought that I would never do. I'm throwing away and selling the baseball cards that I have had for ~30 years. I wasted many hours collecting and buying baseball cards as a kid. But now I also can see that I have learned a lot about life by collecting baseball cards. As an adult, my love of baseball cards is not something I like to admit. It seems silly. But I can see that it's something I truly was passionate about - collecting, buying, selling, trading. Baseball cards inspired me to start this blog several years ago. When I started messing with them, even to throw some worthless 'commons' in the trash, it made me think. It makes me want to write again. While I'm trying to avoid getting 'into it' again, I also don't want to loose the lessons I'm learning. All this is to say, I'm going to let baseball cards inspire me to think and write about things that are far more important than cardboard. There is my apology and my admission that it seems a little weird, but oh well.
