My wife knows and has always known. She thinks its stupid. Her romance novels are stupid. We agree to disagree.

Number 1 read romance novels, and tried to write a couple too. So I can say with assurance that romance novels are exacty like playing the Japanese--on page 1/turn 1 you know how it's going to end. Every . . . single . . . time. [;)]

He doesn't have a Rafael who actually knows what true romance is.....according to my wife....

I asked her if he was lost due to the Pilot Bug....you can guess the response.

Ask her how Rafael performs on 60% Patrol, 40% Rest.

At this point you've got little to lose . . . [:'(]

Hey Liz... should I send Rafael to the reserve or TRACOM?

Just so long as he's not set for 'replacement / request veteran' in your squadron, if you get my gist. [;)]

Does that depend on whether PDU is set ON?

With her as Player, if you get my drift? [:D]

One of my co-workers asked if I was winning my game. I told him "I don't know. Ask me again in three years."

"Three years??!!!"

They just don't understand...

My co-workers just shake their heads in disbelief when I ritually launch WitP Classic during lunch break.

They have stopped asking "Is that the same game? Against the same opponent?" long ago.

I have started my PBEM in January 2006...

I can age myself with this game series. I remember playing turns in classic WiTP with my infant son sitting on a 'boppy' cushion on my lap. A common evening ritual for us, where he would fall asleep while I played.

My son turns 7 next month.

A week ago I caught my wife enthusiastically telling someone that I play a wargame vs a guy from London and a guy from Austria.  She understands that it is a really benign hobby compared to other things. :)
