  Sounds great. The important thing is you're having fun learning and making friends.

  Exactly!!! Sort out of left field, I get a random email from PCGS that I'm now an "Expert" collector... I don't know what that means, but if it's anything like a PhD, it means with my new title and $4, I can buy a crappy cup of coffee at Starbucks! ;-)

  It used to bother me, when I was about 8 yrs old and the teachers stuck stars on fellow students' foreheads for all sorts of silly reasons. Spelling , reading, adding, subtracting, etc., . Titles and stickers have bothered me since.
  One day in school , I told Sally she was stupid. My teacher made me apologize. So, I said " I'm sorry you're stupid, Sally". Boy, did my life suck that semester. No stars for me. Only a title.

  Sounds like everybody got promoted to expert. Guess I'd better stop by Starbucks and get my $4 coffee.
