Same here. I began playing it at Bard College and continued for another 
20 years until my partner left the city. The game has a fascinating 
origin as a recreation for British convicts who used a rolled up rag as 
a ball. The sound that it made as it hit the prison yard wall (SQUASH) 
gave it its name.
