I have not added to my comic collection in a long time,
but I would actively seek out certain things. BUT - if
a local auction house had something I could get for a
deal/steal, I'd do it. I'd wind up with 200-300 random
comics for pennies each. Had a good time cataloging them!

So that's how you can wind up with extra stuff too... ;-)

I'm more into podcasts - spoken word... But yesterday one of
the 'old time radio' shows I listen to had three episodes of
American Top Fourty back to back - 1972, 1977, 1978. That was
extremely fun hearing 'classic' songs when they were new
releases. :-)

I don't play my guitar nearly enough... I have two that stay
at church (a six and a 12) and at least three more acoustics
at home. I play every service at church, but lately haven't
had a chance to just pull one out and play at home...

Before my wife started having so much physical issues, she
liked to drive, so I would take my 'travel' size guitar on the
road with us. Small enough that I could sit in the passenger 
seat and hold it - I'd play - we'd sing - she's drive. Everyone
was happy! LOL
