    Congrats, get some frozen peas (trust me), take your pain Meds and frozen peas and you can sit back and enjoy your DT set for the next few days; seriously don't do anything except rest, take the norco (or whatever they give you) and frozen peas. Don't run a half marathon 3 days later (like my friend did).

    Thank you guys, I'm so excited and delighted about this DT set. It was never seriously on my radar until I more fully immersed myself here in this collecting community, so I have you collecting obsessives to thank also.

    And Chad, thanks for the advice! It's almost midnight here so I'll be crashing soon but, tomorrow, those frozen peas and I are going to start a new relationship (I'm not sure the fam will eat them afterwards, however). Anyway... SWEET JESUS. It feels like the President of The Hells Angels, Andre The Giant, and Cthulhu, have all taken it in turns to shoe me in the plums... I'm going to enjoy some time with these OxyContins...

    "A real limited edition, far from being an expensive autograph stapled to a novel, is a treasure. And like all treasures do, it transforms the responsible owner into a caretaker, and being a caretaker of something as fragile and easily destroyed as ideas and images is not a bad thing but a good one...and so is the re-evaluation of what books are and what they do that necessarily follows." - Stephen King

    NICE!!! Glad to be of service Antoni! And I had a vasectomy almost exactly 15 years ago this month...I share your discomfort but it was a GREAT decision (for me anyway)

    Thank you everyone for the kind words on my DT set and my bruised balls! I must say, the DT set has been a useful distraction and almost as analgesic as my Oxycontin (as I type this, I'm high on oxy and have a strategically positioned ice pack. My first time taking oxycontin - man, it's wondrous!!!) I'm happy to say, the procedure went without complication - I couldn't smell whiskey on the urologist's breath, and his hand didn't look too shaky.

    And yes, RF, I like your logic. Come to think of it, it seems more than a coincidence that I get a vasectomy just after I spend the kids' school fees for the next 6 years.

    My Holy Grail has travelled from snowy Fairfield to London in just 2 days. Arrived there at 6.30am and now in transit to Birmingham (now 12:30pm)

    It is in touching distance, so close my fingers are itching to get hands on it!!!

    Very excited that it may be delivered today/tomorrow!!

    Photos soon.

    Default Signed Colorado Kid

    I bought this yesterday.

    Seller was local and they agreed to knock $20 off of the starting bid (the book had already run once with no bidders) if I picked up and paid cash.

    I know the Sharpie signature is less than desirable, but this is a tough item to find signed....and besides, I was at the event in which it was signed.
