Today was a good one. I mentioned something in the last post about new business ventures, and today we made a little progress. See, my father is an antiques dealer. Every room in the house is filled with Old Things, and he's even built a little shop at the end of a lane on his property. On summer weekends he loads up the truck and sets out a stall in Rosseau. I had the wild idea that he should get some eyeballs on his gear in the offseason, so I suggested eBay. After some reluctance - he's a hands-on dealer - he agreed. He selected five items and it's my responsibility to get them sold. Today I got the first of the initial five up and running on the site. So if you like pre-70s vintage toys, perhaps I can interest you in a Buck Rogers Atomic Pistol?

Also tonight, our soccer team - Blackbirds - played Diesel, the top team in our league. We completely outclassed them from start to finish, and only a dubious penalty decision prevented our first win of the year. I've added a little updater on the right sidebar where you can keep up with our progress as we march to Downsview Park Men's League Sunday PM Division 4 glory.
