    Dangit! Why didn't I know that? Nobody mentioned anything in Orlando! image

    Happy Birthday, Joe! Thanks again for all your photo assistance!

    Say, what model is that camera you have, and what could I expect to pay for one? I like that standard floppy capability!

    AHA- I've got it, now! image

    Since it's the big 40, Joe, please keep the 1940 Irish penny that was one of the four coins I submitted in the big NGC submission we all made through you. I am guessing it'll go 40 on the grade, too, but ANACS has pleasantly surprised me on some of those in the past, so maybe NGC will 45 or 50 it. That would be nice. Lemme know how it comes out.

    I won't know about what 39 feels like until December. I still have plenty of 38 left to enjoy.

    Happy b-day Joe from me and Kelly. I'll remind Kelly in 2 1/2 months about your quote above.

    The trick is to make 40 feel no different from 50!image Happy Birthday Mongoose.image

    'course all of that sedentary sitting in front of coins has got to go! Soon your schedule should include getting up at 5:00, some brisk walking and jogging, a healthy breakfast of wheat germ and orange juice. Following a brisk shower (very hot followed by very cold) your multi-vitamins and blood pressure medicine must not be missed.

    Support hose for approching varicose veins is in the top drawer and the mystical copper bracelet for twinges of arthritis is next to your watch. The soft-bristled brush brush for the delicately spaced hairs on your head is missing-did you leave it in the bathroom? Forgetfullness... already?

    Well, there's more but I should leave a few surprises...image

    But you also deserve this:

    A visit to a shadowy dealer

    It was dark, as it should not have been;
    but a Mongooses eyes are deadly keen.
    From case to case his gaze did flit,
    as did his partners, wise Wybrit.
    Armed with knowledge, rich with lore
    these two would strike as never before.

    Mongoose locked eyes with the dealer,
    and mentioned an opening figure
    for an 1889 large bust proof shilling,
    but at that price the dealer wasn't willing.
    This dealer, known only as snake
    was known for not giving a break.

    They fought back and forth
    with offers running south and then north.
    Words flew with gestures wild,
    but finally, with manner mild
    Mongoose mentioned a number
    which split snake's confidence asunder.

    The coin was surrendered,
    the receipt was then rendered.
    The two left the store
    leaving snake little more
    than a small pittance in cash
    and the feeling he'd been trashed. image
