Back in College

No no. This is not a rememberance of my good ol' youthful days of college. I'm literally back in college. A 30-year old with a quickly growing family quit his job, moved across the state of Washington and is now working part-time at the university library so rent and food (not to mention tuition) can be paid.

Needless to say, gaming purchases will be non-existent. That's not to say I don't occasionally drive across the state line to a small game shop in the basement of a drug store to drool over the outrageously priced games. At least I can touch them.

It's actually not much of a withdrawl. I never had much of a gaming group. We've moved around too much to develop anything. I know my kids wish I'd play more games with them, but I have only a few kid games at their level (my oldest child is 6). Don't get me wrong, I enjoy spending time with my family, but board games don't seem to be part of that. Pretty sad for a self-proclaimed board game geek. Maybe as they get older.

For now, it becomes a balancing act of family, school, and gaming. It's going to be an interesting year...
