The Korean War ended about a month before I was born...

The day after I was born, The NY Yankees became the 1st MLB team to win 5 consecutive Championships...

My Senior year of HS was the last year of the draft for Vietnam...

My head has as much hair on it as a cueball...And altho I feel like I am 90 and act like I am 19 - I am actually much better looking now than when I still had hair at 29...

My 2nd wife is 12 years younger than me and I was still playing fullcourt basketball with 18-20 yr olds in 1998 (Before 3 major injuries - especially a torn ACL ended all lateral cutting - causing me to only watch basketball and play Stratomatic online.)

So father time has finally caught up with me at age 52 - Soon to be 53 (in September). My current wife swears I don't act a day over 15 - And it certainly isn't meant as a compliment either. :wink: :lol:

A Daughter a year younger and altho I am grandpa age, I have a 5 yr old of my own with my 2nd wife. And altho retirement is a very attractive thought, it doesn't appear to be anywhere in sight with the entire primary and secondary education process commencing again this August...

But it's definitely worth it. :wink:

Im only 18 for about 3 more weeks. I'll be 19 August 7th. With the legal drinking age in Canada being 19 i believe I will be getting wasted that night. Good times. :D :D

I'm 58. I have a 26 year old son who got me started playing the online version of this game.

:lol: :wink:

Or do you just live close to to the border?

Born in 1958, turned 47 just last month. I started playing the board game when i was about 12 years old to help my older brother fill out one of his leagues. Absolutely loved it! Then a couple of years ago that same brother turned me onto the online version, and I have been hooked ever since! :)

Tarbell is at least 65. :lol:

:P :P :lol: :lol:

I started playing SOM in 1964...........do the math.

Basic game.......basic cards...........just rolling dice.
