What Games Do You Play?

So my son is into Bakugan. I've never played it. I understand the game and the concept, but for whatever reason it just doesn't interest me. Which is kind of odd because I do play quite a few games.

I like Magic The Gathering, and have a passing interest in Pokemon. I also enjoy a variety of video games including Guitar Hero, the Fallout Series as well as Warcraft and Starcraft. So I'm into games. Not everyone is. I understand that.

What makes a person like one game and not another? Maybe I'm just getting older now and things that I would have enjoyed even a few years ago are being swallowed up in the ongoing rush of life and continual pursuit of comfort.

What about you? What games do you play?

Park Swings

I sure do miss the days of swinging in the swings at the local park. These days I like to take my kids to the park. It takes me back to my childhood when I was the one doing the swinging.

I was one of those crazy kids that gave my mother a heart attack everytime we got near anything that moved. I would swing just as high as I could and then jump out of the swing landing somewhere on my head. (Hey, I never said I was the brightest child).

If I were to pull the same stunts as an adult something tells me that I would get more than just strange looks from the other parents at the park. More than likely some of the mothers would have a few choice words to say to me about the kind of example I would be setting.

Alas, that is one chapter that has closed never again to be re-opened. In the meantime I'll do my best to convince my kids not to follow in my footsteps. Afterall those trips to the doctor's office really weren't all that fun.
