Gayle King is one cool customer

Watching:  76ers vs Rockets on ESPN

That R. Kelly interview was something.  He was all over the place.  Scared that he is facing real trouble?  How in the world did Gayle King maintain her composure through all that?

Today was the first time we hit 32 degrees since February 24.  We also had stretch from February 1-12 where we never hit 32.  Will this winter never end?!

Malcolm Brogdon, the President, had some interesting things to say about Milwaukee and segregation... and he's right.  It's funny, when you meet someone who is white who says they are from Milwaukee, nine times out of ten, they are actually from the suburbs and have never actually lived in Milwaukee. 

Two packages in the mail today - both trades with TCDB members.  My second trade with Crod1991 kicks things off.  A few basketball set builders to start.  Two each for the 2015 Contenders Draft Picks base set and Old School Colors insert set (100%), and one for 2018-19 Hoops:



2018 football set builders comprise the bulk of the trade.  First up Donruss (66%):



Followed by Score (80%):



This trade concludes with Shoelace cards for the Michigan collection:



Today's other trade was my sixth with PapaG321.  My Transaction Manager feels almost incomplete if I don't have something in progress with Dan.  Pretty straightforward trade today.  11 additions to the 1991-92 SkyBox Canadian Minis set (70%):



And then 16 for the 1991 Ultra football set (40%):



I made a Target run this evening, so of course I had to pick up a little something:



Inside, three packs of four cards, plus a bonus pack of three Blue Velocity parallels.  Oooohhhh, "Exclusive" Blue Velocity.  Come on, Panini.  Keepers include six base cards, the three Blue Velocity parallels, a couple of inserts, and a Ben Simmons Holo parallel.  I have made two Optic purchases and hit a Simmons parallel in the other as well.



This is only my second Optic purchase and I already have three doubles.  Blurgh.  These are now up on my For Trade list:
