Happy Birthday RickyB !

[Ricky B]

Alas, no games for me. Been busy being father of four mostly. At one point in my life I had the (misguided) assumption that as they got older they would need less parenting instead of more. Now they are ages 15-13-10 and 9 and someone always needs help with something, or a ride somehwere, or needs to be talked to, etc etc.

Fortunately all my training as a moderator during the early 2000s has given me special child rearing skills,

When I'm free to do so, I hit the trails and hike...make teh kids do it to. Two of them love me for it, and two of them hate me for it. See, just like moderating a forum :rolleyes:

Regards.

Ah, I had forgotten your children's ages, that would keep almost anybody super busy! Good to hear that we helped prep you so well for your current after hours "job" :cheeky:.

Good to hear the family joins you hiking - I mountain bike with a friend from work, my son has no desire yet and wife has too bad of knees. And I always feel good being out riding in the mountains here, most rides at 8-9 thousand feet just outside Denver, even when I walk a steep slope, making me feel my age. Then I come down and pass someone 15 years older riding up the stretch I walked, then I feel twice my age .

Take care Paul, maybe we will have you back gaming in a few more years, if not sooner.

Regards
Rick
