The Next Career Has Begun

The bullet has been bit(ten) and an eBay store has been started. It hasn't been as easy as I had expected, but it is happening. Here's the link, should any one care to look:

It's a new venture, so please be gentle with your criticism. Maybe in a couple weeks, it will have been developed to the point imagined at the start.

In considering what I wrote a few posts back and doing some hefty research into what's selling, I came across the idea of selling ads from old magazines, mostly of a fishing theme to start. And so I did it.

One of the convincing ideas was that I had bought an ad for the sailboat I bought a few years ago. It's been on my wall and frequently viewed. So, we'll see if I can find something that is of similar value to someone else. That, after all, was the whole idea as originally spewed forth.

In looking through some of the magazines I got to get started, I found a fabulous editorial about an organization called the Future Fisherman Foundation. One of their main functions is running a program called "Hooked on Fishing—Not On Drugs." What really impressed me was that the initiator, Tom Bedell and the Berkley Company, set it up without mentioning the company. Talk about giving back!! It sounds like a terrific program. Here's their link:

It's been a good week, overall—starting the eBay store and finding out about the Future Fisherman Foundation. Those two things are exciting. Wish us all luck.
