Wow. Someone actually writing about Olympus! Don't you know this list is for
politics, guns, and cars? :-)

WOW! What a Fang!
(You probably haven't been on the list long enough to witness Doris Fang's
legendary OM shopping skills.)
You probably got about $500 worth of stuff.
The 50/1.8 is a well-regarded lens. Viv made a number of 70-210 lenses of
varying quality. The flash stuff is great, particularly with the cords and grip
-- the best flash pictures are when the flash is NOT on the camera.

How about a class or two? You might check out "adult education" classes, which
tend to be inexpensive and at good times for working people. The DC area used
to have an "Open University" that I taught for that specialized in such things.
