Arcade memories

Well, actually, this one would be more like “bar memories,” but I ran across this old photo and, man, I could really go for a little game of shuffle bowling right now. Finally got hold of the “Pinball Hall of Fame” featuring several Gottlieb pinball tables, very realistic action, for the Playstation 2, and was having quite a bit of fun with it last weekend. Doesn’t include my revered all-time favorite, Team One, which occupied a favored space in our freshman dorm lounge and which I could play for about 3 days on a quarter (or three minutes, depending on how the balls were dropping). But it’s lots of fun. And so was shuffle bowling, which, like pinball, pretty much died at the hands of the electronic games.

I really don’t mind that circumstances at work prevented me from skiing today — since it was bright, sunny, not too cold, and Mount Snow only got about 11″ of new snow since Sunday night. That would have been terrible, so it’s just better that I had to stay here. Right?
