This is an excellent form of investment if you are looking to invest in something other than real estate or the stock market. Having a good with a physical value can be an safe way to keep your money. If you are looking for scrap gold prices you can check online with the gold bullion exchange.

Thanks for sharing this piece--and the original essay--they're both timeless and especially relevant today. Inspired and straight-forward. And, to the description in your earlier essay--"a funny writer with a good work ethic and an oh-so-cheery disposition" I'm thinking it should have started off "a smart and funny writer"...

Only by casting off the ancient relics of the old "job" could you have come up with something so utterly outstanding for last week's design night at GOOD!

Bucher Sat, 20 Dec 2008 03:10:55 +0000 http://www.gelatobaby.com/?p=684#comment-1834 You're so right, Alissa. Such an important distinction to keep in mind. I keep chasing job status symbols that are long since gone, or have lost their meaning, only because that's what I grew up admiring. I have to consciously force myself to look at things that are fun and great and interesting NOW instead of "I want to make cool art books and record sleeves like they had in the 70s." Kind of like comics who still secretly yearn to sit on Carson's couch. Nostalgia is a powerful distraction from the actual possibilities before us. You're certainly making it happen for yourself! Congratulations on all the good stuff you're generating in words and in life! You’re so right, Alissa. Such an important distinction to keep in mind.
