Taking the plunge

Watching:  Padres vs Brewers on Fox Sports Wisconsin

With school resuming a couple of weeks ago we have also resumed the extracurriculars.  Included among those activities are Saturday morning swim lessons at one of the local high schools.  With our registration we receive a pass to attend open swim sessions free of charge.  Sunday afternoon I took our daughter to open swim where she vowed to jump off the diving board a million times.  This past spring she routinely jumped off the diving board.  She climbed the three steps and inched her way out on the board several times, however, she did not jump.  The board was too wobbly.  I summoned all of my courage and made two jumps, but that was not enough to convince her that the board is sound.  Oh well, we will try again next weekend.

A pair of TCDB trades welcomed me this afternoon at the post office.  A hockey trade with CardDad78 is first on the docket and begins with four Michigan additions:

The remaining cards are headed to my Hawks collection:


A small football trade with Dtd500 is up next and kicks off with a 1990 Topps Traded set builder:

A pair of Michigan additions follows, including a sweet First Day Issue:

That's where the trade was supposed to end, however, I was thrilled to find a pair of Brady's included as bonuses:

Thank you very much, Scott (Dtd500)!
