Well, let's see, this will be my first article created with this new editor.

First let me tell you something about myself. My name is Helen, mother of Kim and married to Roel since August 2003.

It all started in 1998, in April I bought my first pinball machine, the Twilight Zone. Basically I was going for a Creature if I recall it correctly, but I had a click with the TZ so I went home with that one.

Later on I discovered that a Pinball Association exists, called the NFV (see website www.nfvpinball.nl). I became a member, at this moment the NFV has near 1000 members. I never thought that there would be that many pinball players in The Netherlands! I also started to participate in competitions.

Meanwhile the collection has grown to 6,5 pinball machines, and varies from time to time. Enough about pinball.

Another hobby of mine is DDR, also called Dance Dance Revolution. With a computer, Into the Groove software, and two metal dance pads I workout at least 3 hours a week. I play single as well as double...

If you are wondering how this looks like, check out the following videos:

Well this is it for now!

Greetz,

Helen.
