Yeah, probably, imagine how much time he must spend on his PC (or MAC).
But perusing his collection couldn't be boring, if he'd let you.

I should do that, too. Maybe I will send him ALL the Castle inventories,
except for this blasted 1960 set.

Actually, if I had that opportunity, I would probably build each of the
sets, for old time's sake, and enjoying the ones I had missed, and to see

Yah, John has made me smile (and you did mention his name), but not
actually laugh - of course most the time I don't know what he is talking
