I have always stayed interested, but games have been sporadic since then.I did not push my children into RPGs.  I felt that one should have a decent grasp on reality to truly be safe and enjoy them the most.  My benchmark was the belief in Santa Claus.  So far it has worked out.I completed my Associates degree in 1997.  I have been a Scoutmaster and Girl Scout Leader.  I am currently taking a sabbatical from front line scouting activities.  My children and I play in the folk group in church, my son and I play guitar and daughter plays percussion.I have plenty of RPG ideas, lots of notes, and a couple of megs of saved enworld files for information.  I like to read and play guitar.  I like movies and lurking the messageboards.  I have a fascination for Ancient Egypt that my wife tolerates as best she can.I often find other people my age who played when they were younger but don't have the time now.  I picture myself as an octogenarian in the old folk's home having my dice rolled for me and describing "…you come into the clearing, and a horrid troll leaps from the brush at you!"I met Sean K Reynolds and Stan! when they came through Connecticut for the Anniversary tour a couple of years ago.  Sean signed my Against The Giants campaign book.</blockquote>
