Jason Kipnis Members Only


Just about any time I can find  2014 Topps Stadium Club Members Only parallel at a decent price I will grab it up. This Jason Kipnis example showed up on eBay in early December and I won it with a very low bid. He's not a superstar or anything, but he's a good enough player that this card probably should have gone for more. I guess the Jason Kipnis super-collectors' loss is my gain.

I don't have much more to post about today. December is usually a hard month for me in a lot of different areas of life, and this year has been no exception. I don't know why, but that's how it's been for about as long as I can remember. Maybe the holidays bring heightened expectations that aren't realized. Maybe the transition to the New Year makes me reflect on where I'm at compared to last year. Maybe the weather brings me down. Maybe I expect December to be bad, so I sabotage my own life in a pattern of self-fulfilling prophecy. I don't know. Eventually I will dig out of this funk and get back to my baseline.

  1. I feel ya on the sentiments of the last paragraph. But, hey, soon we get to flip the calendar to a new year and start over, right? New beginnings and all that jazz.

    1. Yeah, I've got a few self-improvement projects lined up for next year. It should be pretty exciting.

    1. I'll be fine. I've dealt with deep depression for most of my life. This is just a bump in the road.
