A couple years ago at PAPA, a bunch of guys told my wife that she should get used to the idea that from now on, every trip we took would be a pinball trip, and that every spare cent I spent would be on pinball. Every single one of the guys that told her that was divorced.

Now, two years later, my wife is into pinball more than ever...and wants me to buy a machine specifically for the grandkids.

It's all about balance, gentlemen. Make sure that the most important things in your life are the loved ones you can't replace, and that you don't ignore those loved ones in the pursuit of your beloved hobby.

If you don't keep that perspective and balance, then you deserve what you get.
