I really don't do video games much anymore because it's not something my wife enjoys; it's just the two of us, and we are on a lake. So, there are a few shows that I watch on TV as a means of sharing company in the evening, with a book in my lap, while she works on her take home work from church (I'm doing most of the housework because I only work 40-50 hours a week at my paid job). But, she agreed to go sailing with me if I got a sailboat she can get on, she has artificial knees and can't go down far from the dock, crawl on her knees, etc. So, I just ordered a 16 foot cat that can be sailed with 1-6 people. I think what is superior is that when we are crazy busy, and have little free time is to not spend it alone....particularly if we work alone (as I do most of the time). So, my feeling is that the sharing with your son is integral to the value of the fun. As I see 60 just over the horizon, I don't want 20 more years to slip away without spending as much time as I can with those I love. So, video games would not be a good option for me, but sounds like a great one for you. A classic YMMV, IMHO. :-) Dan M. _______________________________________________ http://box535.bluehost.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l_mccmedia.com
