[QUOTE="SpiffyRob, post: 84923, member: 450"] Thanks all! One thing I didn't get into above, but is worth mentioning: My dad and I have made it a tradition to go to the Red Sox game every Patriots' Day (they play extra early.) This year, with Patriots' Day falling on my 30th birthday, it was an extra special occasion. Unfortunately, as most of you know, this year's Patriots' Day celebration was marred by the bombing attack at the Boston Marathon finish line. Traditionally, my dad an I always make our way to the finish line once the Sox game ends: Indeed, I have a picture of us standing about a half mile from the finish line about 20 minutes before the bombing. Here's where things get cosmic: The reason we didn't go to the finish line this year was that I wanted to go to Pinball Wizard Arcade in Pelham NH for a few hours before my flight back home out of Manchester. Without being too melodramatic, it's fair to say that pinball kept me safe that day. We were obviously very emotional as soon as we heard the tragedy that we narrowly missed, and it felt terrible to be enjoying pinball at a time like that, but I don't know what else we could have done to stay sane at that time. After all of that, coming home to my wife, and finding out that my birthday present was a group effort from all of my friends and family to give me the very thing that brought me safety and comfort earlier that day... man... quite a moment. (And just for good measure, I became an uncle that day too!) Next time I'm at my parents place I'm going to dig through storage to see if they kept any of my old action figures. If they did, thinking about who's on the machine, I definitely have (at least): Hulk Macho Man Bret Hart Shawn Michaels Tatanka Hacksaw Jim Duggan Undertaker Razor Ramon Mr. Perfect I have a feeling they might have gotten rid of them, but maybe I still have my old replica Intercontinental Belt I can use as a topper. :) I have it set to take quarters primarily so I don't spend too much time playing it. On Free Play, you could never drag me away. If it's set to take quarters, I can do a better job stopping myself after a handful of games (of course, I can always open the coin door and get more...)
