Carry on. Have a cheery Sunday.

That gets me thinking that I want to recreate this for my personal life. I should create a trading card set for my life going forward - one card for each year. I will hand them out to my family and loved ones each year. When I pass they can remember me in a fun way. Not just a a photograph, but something that is designed as a trading card. I think my family and friends who know I collect would appreciate it (or maybe they will throw it away). I wish I had thought of this sooner - I only have so many playing years left!
