Busting Wax

The other day, I was working on some of my behind-the-scenes tasks for my other blogs, when I was looking at some of my Feedburner stats. I noticed that over fifty people are subscribed to this blog. That may not seem like a lot, but it filled me with a sense of guilt, knowing that there are people out there actually wondering what I might write next.

I actually have a lot of things I’d like to comment on. I just don’t seem to have much time. One of my other blogs, Men of the Scarlet and Gray, is a mostly college football blog and we’re right in the thick of football season, so that takes quite a bit of my blogging time. And when I actually have free time, I’m mostly likely playing video games (which I blog about at Buttonmashing.com). So I have been neglecting this site, which makes me sad.

On top of that, I haven’t really been busting any wax. I mentioned it in a previously blog, but the inevitable lack of interest that has caused me to stop collecting has reared its ugly head again. But I still have a strong attraction to the hobby, it keeps pulling me back in. That, and I’m a huge sports fan. So I’m coming to grips with what I want to write about. I wish I would have started this blog about a year earlier, because as I was getting back into the hobby a couple years ago, one of my childhood dreams came true (about twenty years too late) when my father-in-law gave me an old shoebox full of his old cards for me to catalog and protect. It was really cool going through those, and if I have time, I’d like to share some of those with you.

I also had to come to grips with why I collect. That deserves more time and probably will take multiple posts to really flesh out how I feel about this hobby.

I’m not making any grand promises to start churning out posts at Mario’s pace, but I do hope to get some time this winter to work on some posts and share with you guys what I’ve been doing. Hopefully I haven’t lost everyone’s interest in the long delay between posts. Won’t happen again.
