Regrets

"Regrets. I've had a few, but then again, too few to mention." So sang Mr. Sinatra in My Way.

The same goes for me, though I will mention one here. Mostly though, I have tried to go through life so I have very few regrets at the end. Tried to be good to people, and not be intentional hurtful. I can't say that I have succeeded, that is for others to judge, but in my own mind, there are few, if any, decisions I would change.

But there is a regret. And it is just selfish and deals with material things, so I guess it is not TOO big a regret. I sold my large comic book collection in 1991-1992.
I was no longer collecting, I had stopped in 1986 or so, when we were first married and I could no longer afford the luxury of collecting. And I don't mind that decision. The industry was changing, with far too many cross overs (Secret Wars) that made you buy all sorts of issues you would not normally to get the full story, and events that changed the universe of the comics (Crisis on Infinite Earths).

But I wish I had not sold my collection off. So, I am starting, slowly, to put some of that collection together again. The first comic I loved as a kid was Justice League of America (JLA). And DC Comics were the brand I liked most. Not that I did not like and collect Marvel too, but DC really had me hooked. And the Justice League was the old one, with Superman and Batman, Flash and Wonder Woman, Green Lantern and many others. And I remember the issue that had me, JLA #99, "Seeds of Destruction." I was hooked.

So I have bought that and issue #100, and I will buy some here and there. I don't know why I want to do this now, but somehow, they have been calling to me over the past few years to renew my acquaintance.

I am buying online, from mycomicshop.com, that has almost everything. And I am buying a few graphic novels too, of Crisis on Infinite Earths, that I am enjoying immensely.

I think I will get this regret rectified, at least enough that I cease to have it as a regret. So then I will have "too few to mention."
