Closing in on my original goal.

Wednesday Morning I was on the el heading to see my father. My ear phones were on and I closed my eyes hoping by the time I saw my Dad I would be more awake. I finished an eight hour overnight shift and I always look forward to the weakly routine of coffee and comic books.

Every Tuesday night I work on the register rather than serving tables. It?s a guaranteed eight hours at a guaranteed wage. This amount of time also gives me the moment to reflect on the comic books I still need to finish my sets, especially for the New Mutants. I have 93 out of 109 listed and one more on the way.

I am also a follower of Murphy?s Law and all variations, so it seems that any time I have a delivery coming I am never home (and I need to be home). I like to order comics and more importantly I like to get the comics I order. I don?t trust the Post Office and every order I place I ask for the person shipping to add a signature required to the parcel. This way I get what I ordered, I hope. Let?s face it I?ve had trouble with the Post office getting even this simple request.

The books I am waiting to get are sitting at the local Post office and I can?t wait for work to end and the Post office to open so I can retrieve what is mine. The books waiting for me are both graded, and both from the New Mutant series. One brings me closer to having them all in a 9.8, the other is a 9.6 but both are now mine because of a friend. Of course now he blames me for adding a New Mutants set to his registry. The gauntlet has been thrown, but thrown amongst friends. He plans on sending in all his New Mutants from Liefeld to compete. However he won?t be competing against me, I am only in 3rd (currently), so I might not be that much of a challenge.

Thank you Lee K for helping me get closer to my goal and I welcome you in collecting a real set. I hope to be back in 2nd when you get closer and if you reach 2d before I reach first could I please buy what else I need from you.
