Here's that original post by Reis:<BR/><BR/>http://geek-orthodox.blogspot.com/2008/08/yesterday-was-great-day-passing-on-d.html<BR/><BR/>So, hats off to Reis for the inspiration. I should have remembered it sooner. I suck. Hahaha.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, check out his posts if you haven't already. Great stuff!yoyorobbohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08375340160423546919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6564695407408502795.post-24447137173185529722009-02-26T17:21:00.000-05:002009-02-26T17:21:00.000-05:00@Gamer Dude: Dude, I am so stoked about the future...@Gamer Dude: Dude, I am so stoked about the future...err...reliving the past via the future....err something. I applaud you for your gaming efforts with your kids, and for just plain spending time with your kids - gaming or not.

I'm constantly amazed at the sense of newness and awe that each session brings to them and therefore, me.<BR/><BR/>It's like starting all over again. It's that cool for me. Playing with kids truly brings all those old feelings bubbling back to the surface.<BR/><BR/>We didn't start right off like that though, we played some board games and I told a LOT of stories structured around old games of yore. Eventually though it came to pass that they wanted to actually play. And here we are today.<BR/><BR/>What a great journey we're on here, for the second time! ;-)Gamer Dudehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05006232842482959060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6564695407408502795.post-63765978285269387212009-02-25T08:14:00.000-05:002009-02-25T08:14:00.000-05:00Having anything in common with your Dad is a good ...Having anything in common with your Dad is a good thing. Not to get all weepy, but my old man was a big sports guy, and I have had f'ed up eyes since birth, but no one knew. Not having his big thing as a possibility really created problems.<BR/><BR/>About the only thing we both liked was watching boxing, but now neither of us like it much. We've got more in common now that he has lousy vision too :-DDarius Whiteplumehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17950956139088139753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6564695407408502795.post-23574955359102382132009-02-24T23:17:00.000-05:002009-02-24T23:17:00.000-05:00@ Darius & Reis:Yeah fellas, this is what it&#...@ Darius & Reis:<BR/><BR/>Yeah fellas, this is what it's all about. We had a freakin' GREAT time! And I hope it continues.<BR/><BR/>Ya never know...kids pick and choose their interests for themselves (or at least they *should*), but it's fun to see the excitement and joy they have in playing something you like too, and something you played as a kid. We're all still kids anyway, right?<BR/><BR/>Anyway, thanks for shouts here guys. Glad you liked the little tale of my (hopefully) future D&Der. ;>]yoyorobbohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08375340160423546919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6564695407408502795.post-10852553289118128872009-02-24T22:29:00.000-05:002009-02-24T22:29:00.000-05:00Right on!
