I can't believe I haven't posted in a while.  I have actually been doing OK, but I am an extreme state of denial.  I have not done any work, and I have this fantasy about selling everything and working a blue collar job.  I don't know if I will follow through or not. 

I did finally recycle a bunch of magazines that I have been holding on to for years.  I also took a bunch of books to Half-Priced Books and sold them for next to nothing--but at least they are out of my house.  Most of them were from when I was part of the Rodale Press book club.  According to the lady at the counter, it was my old D&D books that actually got me the most money.  I was expecting my signed copy of Peter Taylor's The Old Forest and Other Stories to get me something and it really didn't.

I also tried selling my Atari 2600 to Vintage Stock and they wouldn't take it.  I think I am going to try Craigslist or ebay.  On Wednesday I tried to sell some rare and foil Magic The Gathering cards and Josh was only interested in one card.  He said that he would buy my other cards in bulk, so I need to take them in on Wednesday when I go to play D&D Encounters.

I saw on Facebook that the Triceratops has been identified as the younger form of another dinosaur.  The article had something in the title about the triceratops no longer existing.  Well, where ever the fossils came from must have existed.  The real point is that the Triceratops is the same dinosaur as another species.  After a but more reading, the name Triceratops will most likely be the name that goes forward, so technically the other dinosaur is going away--but since no one knows the other dinosaur it makes for a better headline to say the triceratops never existed.  It worked.  A lot of people still commented on how the dinosaur should still be called a triceratops even though the article said it would probably be called a triceratops.
