My life and times in sports and baseball cards
I was killing the rest of my lunch hour at the local Toys R Us checking out the card section and the McFarlane figures. They had moved the cards again so it took me a bit to find them. They were also harder to find because they seem to be stocking fewer cards now.

Recently I was vacationing in Cancun Mexico and we went into town one day to have a look around. Mostly we went into town to try to find my daughter something she would eat.

While browsing the stores inventory I [...]
