After this tumbler of bourbon, I will attempt sleep.
Where did this energy come from and why wasn't it present when I needed it this week?
@jextxadore Don't get me wrong. If there is money to be made, I will make it. I only view it as a means to do other, more important things. That and make Sidekick's life easier if I should suddenly keel over,
It isn't something that invokes passion in me.
@jextxadore I'm not a very fiscally driven person outside of the business I run. Never have been driven by money.
@jextxadore Oh, no. I do not sell those sorts of things. I value those sorts of things far more the money they are worth.
@jextxadore These are just things I stumbled across at estate sales and the like. I started collecting the stuff in my teens. From pre-school on, I was a voracious reader.
@jextxadore Also have an anthology from the 1880s that featured bawdy poems and stories from ancient Rome. Their sense of humor was on the level of your average eight year old.
@jextxadore I'm hoping they are in decent shape. They are at my Mother's house many hundreds of miles away. Whey are kept, sealed, and in a dry environment that almost never varies from 60 degrees F.
Insomnia and inexplicable burst of energy, meet whiskey.
I'm not playing around anymore.
@jextxadore The only known copies are in the hands of collectors. They were printed with his 'Illuminated Printing' method by his own hand with his own artwork.
The rarest thing I have is the magazine that first published Edgar Allen Poe's, "The Raven", as a short story. That, a pewter-gilded copy of Keats' 'Eve of St Agnes and a gold gilded anthology of George Elliot's works published after her death that is still stiff and like new 130 years after the fact.
@matigo It isn't because I am old now and have zero recuperative ability.When I hit the wall, it stays hit.
