my good news

I guess my wife has foreshadowed so heavilly that I need to say something. Anyway, my goal this Summer was to get to a point where I sold $60 a day on ebay. As I am a teacher, and as I have no Summer job, I thought that this might be a good goal rather than say, ditch digging. I might have followed Avram and Drivler's goals of getting published in scifi rags, but then I couldn't have justified the chemicals except as research, and even there, I'm sure the wife would have had some trouble with me turning my room into a toxic wasteland.
Well, the good news is that I've begun selling things on ebay. Two days ago, I sold four pressings of a ruined wall set for $50, and I've got bids to the tune of $40 up right now. So, I'm half way to my goal; the wife, child, and I are planning on eating this summer.
