If anyone knows me I love to chat and will talk with anyone. Perhaps I am annoying but to me chatting real time can speed up trades, diffuse a lot of headaches, etc. (heck the phone is even better).

Anyways on to the story I was posting some stuff on STC and all of a sudden the chime goes off and I get a im from a person I know for a few years from time at SCS. Basically, he just ask for my address and that about it and dissapears. Well hmm, I wasn't thinking much of it and truly had forgotten about it.

So I call home from work as I call my wife during lunch and she like you got a package from PORTLAND. I am thinking to myself the whole nite as I finsih up the shift and go HMM (no trades, not expecting anything, etc. so not a clue to what it is). So I get home do the usual let the dogs out, tell the wife I am home, get me something to eat. There sits the package from Portland and all of a sudden the lightbulb goes off as it from Cadien. Now I know it Johnathan Cadien who is Canadian Bang on my aol im's.

So I take open the package and open it up and I pull out a gorgeous card with a little note just reminding me the time of year it is.

It is a 2005/06 ITG Ultimate Memorobilia 6th Edition Base Card Series One Tony Esposito 04/09 Ultimate Numbers 00445/12500. So nonetheless Johnathan thanks for the great gift and I owe ya one. So just wanted to shout out to ya and say thanks for all the dealings and chats we had over the years. You ever need anything just holler as I will be there to listen, help ya out, whatever bro.

Shezzie,
Not in the least as I have no clue what he collecting. As I said been ages since I talked to him. He is in High School and with sports and such he is busy so I hardly ever see him online. So that why I posted that as it a thanks and I want him to see that I appreciate it and hopefully can help him with whatever direction his collection is taking (of course it usually baseball).

Ed,
Thanks for the reply.

Heather,
Anytime you want to do something quick and check on someone check out that site I mentioned for the logo's (hockeydatabase). As they have all the stats on the old timer's as well. Kind of gives ya a little overview and who they played for etc.
