Actually, I was JUST thinking about that concept earlier today.
Of course, it won't be a complete solution, but it's not a bad idea.

That would be really cool since I don't think many racketboy members were at PAX this year.. I can't wait to go again next year hopefully with a good group of retro gamers.. This year was my first year at Comic-Con and PAX..
Once again, I wish ya good luck in the future..

a thousand sympathies, divorce isn't fun, mine was particularly messy but it's fine now. it sounds like yours is at least semi-amicable, though that doesn't really make it any less draining or difficult.
Yeah, sorry to hear the bad news Racket. When life has me down, I usually do one of two things, buy a new Harley or buy a new car. Its amazing how much better things seem when you have a big, new toy to play with. Anyways, best of luck to you man.

PLEASE come to gencon next year and help me add a retro gaming presence at the convention for once. there's a HUGE nerd base, they're just misguided.
Nick,
One of my best friends is going through the same thing, but probably for different reasons.
Since I can't do much to help you, I will work harder to help my friend get through his situation and maybe some karma can come your way.

Going through it now only it's very complicated especially with our two girls involved. I feel for you Nick, it's tough for any of us. I'll have to give that book a go though as I'm sure I could use it. If you ever need to talk or vent I'm all ears.

Yeah, I'm fortunate that I don't have kids that have to go through this as well.
Not that I didn't want kids, but I'm sure it really complicates things.
Best wishes to all those in similar situations!
Anyways, best of luck to you man.
