10/18/10

On this day in 1985, Nintendo released it's first game machine. I played it. I played Hogan's Alley, it was a shooting game. In two days it will be October 20th. I got married October 20, 1985. I had just graduated from law school.

When they released the NES, I was getting ready for the wedding. I was 25. Life looks different when your 25, you see the future in front of you. You see risk of failure and you wonder if you are up to the task, if you can take care of your family. Scary thing. At 51, I can say I took care of my family. They never went without.

I look at the last 25 years and could not have seen how things turned out. I look forward to the next 25 wondering what will happen next. Be well.
