Is this a new era?

I think I just entered into a new era of Legodom. Loved Lego as a kid, emerged from the dark ages as an adult for the Star Wars initial release, then returned to a second dark age with work-and-life-stuff. Arrival of The Next Generation gave me reason to step back into it, along with a mandate that I get some sort of hobby that doesn't involve a kitchen remodel when my partner is out of town for a long weekend. Thus Era 3 began, and for the last few years I've been overdoing it, following your antics, sales and deal hunting. I got into the sales game. All progressing. Then, I bought a few yard sale lots. Then a few more. Then a few more. Then a few more. I think I've gone down the rabbit hole. I've sorted and washed more parts in the last few weeks than I had in total before now. I've discovered corners of Legovilization that I never knew existed. I've learned to curse the false-bricks, and begun to identify them by feel alone. I've found and listed a few diamonds from the rough. For those of you who have earned and accumulated the wisdom of the Lego ages, is this an entirely new level I've discovered? Is there a way back? Is there hope of seeing my desktop absent a little yellow head ever again? Why didn't Nancy Reagan warn us about this?
