My son and I ate at a pizza place a few months ago that still had the
Galaga game from when I was in high school. He wanted to play, so I
let him run the shooter while I ran the joystick. About 45 minutes
later, we had the high score, and the next day I get a text message from
one of my high school friends asking if I beat his high score on the
Galaga machine at Godfather's Pizza, cuz he saw the same initials that I
used back in the day.
It's a nerd's world, baby!

I have fond memories of my Nintendo and the Dark Side of the Moon
8-Track that seemed to be on continuous play in my bedroom. Someone
put them together and it makes me feel weirdly nostalgic.
