Nobody else quite seems to know what to do with this thread now...

The hijack is over, I surrender! I have another thread for this...!

I absolutely love it. It makes total sense. My dad has lost his imagination and is only open to the things he already knows and likes...

I don't know. You're Dad was at Gen Con and didn't make an ass of himself

No, but was acting a bit silly. Mostly he is down to earth and embroiled in his own world. Did you actually get the chance to talk to him?

I didn't get the chance to talk to him, but he took it in stride when I joked with you guys that next year I'm bringing MY dad to schlep around all the stuff that I buy (Frukathka's dad was carrying an armload of gaming stuff that I can only assume he had not bought for himself).

As to the OP, I'm a big proponent of this philosophy myself. I usually conceptualize it in the form of one of my favorite Jimmy Buffett songs (I'm telling you, there's one for every occasion! ) called Growing Older But Not Up. The last part of the chorus goes like this:

Let those winds of time
Blow over my head.
I'd rather die while I'm living
than live while I'm dead.

I absolutely love it. It makes total sense. My dad has lost his imagination and is only open to the things he already knows and likes. My mom, albeit set in her ways, likes trying new things. Imagination is the key to unlocking what drives us. Imagination helps us expand our boundaries. If we don't try new things we become boring and predictable. I for sure will not be one of those people. Thanks, Krinke. You brought a smile to my day with your sig, I'll carry it in my heart from now until eternity.
