Awsome! My pride and joy is celebrating 5 years post chemo this weekend. She survived bone cancer and is keeping her promise to one day dance with me at her wedding. She took a quick trip to Hawaii to celebrate life and sent me this picture yesterday. Her smile speaks a million words and everyone of them melts her father's heart.

That's fantastic! Wishing her good health and happiness!

My wife and I are fanatic WNBA fans and the WNBA season opens this week (Go Sparks!). Here is a picture of me with one of the Sparks’ stars, 2016 league MVP and fellow Stanford alum, Nneka Ogwumike.

One more positive from me-
I got my private pilot license in September and am really enjoying the friendly skies. Have landed at over 20 different airports in Iowa so far. Flying a Cessna 172 and shortly will be working towards my Cirrus endorsement.
Bottom line is this- Cycling+Aviation+Cardboard= too many hobbies but I love all three. What’s a guy to do?

WOW, flying a plane as a hobby, that is super cool.

We picked up a new hobby we have not been able to try yet because of the weather. Not sure if we will like it so I bought a older used travel trailer and pickup.

My positive note is that I'm new to vintage cards and I appreciate the wealth of T206 information on Net54 and various other websites that you all have provided!

Primarily a Kirby Puckett collector (2,000+), I randomly started reading up on T206 cards at the start of 2019 and I find it all very fascinating. I'm up to a grand total of twelve T206's now with the addition of this Milan Polar Bear that arrived from Luke yesterday via the B/S/T board.

Eric, I have no intentions of ever flying a plane myself, and I don't ride my bike on gravel, but I did ride from my house in Coralville, to and from a Cedar Rapids Kernels game last week. Iowa, biking and baseball!

Biking and baseball yes please! Coralville! We aren’t that far apart. I am in Pella. 90 miles to the left... haha. I lived in Coralville for 4 years during grad school. Good memories.

Loving all the stories. Lots of baseball stuff. Imagine that. Love the camper picture(have camped a lot with my parents), the state champ soccer pic (coached soccer for about 10 years), so many good stories here. Puts a big smile on my face.

Glad to have you in the hobby!!! I hope that your college years are awesome (as were mine for the most part) and that you knock it out of the park employment-wise later. I hope that you and others your age take over and carry on this hobby for all of us old geezers, lol.

Love the age range and diversity of collecting interests and styles on this board.
Always appreciate the stories of why people collect what they collect.

My family had a birthday party for my nephew last night (he is 5) and was talking bucket list items with my dad. I had no idea some of the things he wants to do. Next several years could be a lot of fun! So thankful to have most of my family in the same town! Family is priceless
