Never grow up

<r> I made a key decision at 50. It involved among other things ditching my old self. You've heard of second childhood, I went back mentally, even if not physically. I have no plans to be an adult ever again.<br/>

I recommend it. Adulthood is not worth anything. Been there and I know from ...

<t> Well, I'm not denying you your capacity to believe.<br/>

But there has never been a spec of proof God exists.<br/>

My sympathies with the athletes.

But my love for the event died a long way back and several games ago.

It stopped being about the participants, and too much about the event.

I'm guessing you refer to Decisive Campaigns Ardennes and the Steel Tigers game.

Vic has a big following. But we've been hearing of Steel Tigers for so long it's starting to deserve Duke Nukem jokes
