Lol...yeah, tell me about it!! Actually, my kids are so into it which really makes it extra rewarding. My son just completed his first trade on the Dizkids board!
I think there may be an easier way for me to head to upstate NY from here. For instance, my best friend lives near Armonk, and I take the Saw Mill down. I remember it taking 45 minutes to get to Poughkeepse, going through back roads rather than all the way down to the Tappan Zee and back up again, so I will have to investigate.
I'm hoping there is another NYC pin meet soon because we wished we could have gone! (Actually, my son was playing in a chess tournament that day.)
P.S. My brother just played a hockey game with the MHS Alumni hockey team (he played on the team while there). He graduated high school in 1986. He owns the Cosi shops, one of which is in Larchmont and another in New Rochelle.
