Elvis Presley is Alive and Well!

Elvis Presley is Alive and Well!

Well, you might be forgiven for thinking that he is when you read that he is releasing a new Christmas album this year (2008) entitled Elvis Presley Christmas Duets.

On this album, he will be joined by some of today's finest contemporary country singers.

Check out my page about the album by clicking here and find out which artists he is joined by and how this magical feat was accomplished!

Your Life Sentence - A Challenge

Your Life Sentence - A Challenge
In the book Not Quite What I Was Planning, famous and not-so-famous writers were asked to provide their life stories in six word sentences. They responded with funny, sad and often poignant quotes that are a short record or chronicle of their lives. I thought it would be fun to get to know some of you a bit better so...can you sum up your life in a six word sentence?

Here are four examples, just to get you thinking...

Aged pretty well, all things considered.
Oldest of three; boss of everyone.
The second mouse gets the cheese.
Read the map. Still got lost.

This task won't be easy for everyone, believe me I know! I wrote several before I finally chose one to post and I am not sure that it is great but at least it is a start! (You'll have to visit my page to see what I said about myself.)

Be the next to post your life sentence either here or on my page, Your Life Sentence in Six Words. That could make you first, if you don't count me!

The Penguin Centenary Collection of Ian Fleming's James Bond Books

The Penguin Centenary Collection of Ian Fleming's James Bond Books
Well, today was Monday, June 30, 2008. Mondays are my busiest eBay day so I had to focus on parcels today.

My eBay store, of course, demands a lot of attention and it was a great weekend for sales despite the fact that summer is supposed to be a slow time on eBay. This past 30-day cycle has seen my highest sales volume to date.

James Bond had a great deal to do with that as I sold a number of copies of the collector's edition book set shown here.   I had about 20 parcels to prepare for shipping this morning and a few of them contained the brand-new, sought-after boxed set The Penguin Complete Centenary Collection of Ian Fleming's James Bond books that contains 14 of Ian Fleming's titles packaged in a nice box celebrating the 100th anniversary of the release of the first of the James Bond stories.  

UPDATED TO ADD:

I have since sold all of my boxed sets but you can still find the boxed set of The Penguin Complete Centenary Collection of Ian Fleming's James Bond books on eBay by clicking right here.


Are you a James Bond fan? Have you read the books? Do you recommend them?
