...I'm approaching collecting keys in a much calmer, relaxed manner than before. Ok, who am I kidding? Although I'm trying a more calm, some would say "mature", approach...it's not working well. I've been buying stuff for a few weeks or so now, I've received a couple "gift packs" from those that saw some of my activity and asked what I was up to or that I was communicating with and I couldn't keep it a secret any longer I'm obviously not good at keeping secrets since I've only been back at it for such a short period of time.

What's really interesting about starting over is that the really common keys are included in my needs, so the round robins and convention will be a blast. I should easily find things I need - what's more fun than that?

I also have to admit that I'm REALLY excited about collecting in general again. I've had some personal chips made (the club logo chips) and I have a couple other designs that I'm going to be picking up at the convention from David (one has a key related theme).

Thanks again for posting the suggestion but heck, I'll just trade with everyone as I build up the traders, and we can all have a blast.
