My wife and I were thinking about our childhoods. We had siblings. We would play board games and ride bikes. However, during the hot summer months, it is difficult to play outside and ride bikes. When we were kids, the default activities when it was hot outside was too played boardgames or read books. For our son and his generation, they are so wired. Video games, Xbox, iPads, iPods. That is his world. We are starting to try to break the spell of technology for our son. Though television is technology, we are forcing him to watch a Disney classic movie on Sunday nights. We are trying to play board games rather than watching TV. We play Risk, Chess, Go Fish, Old Maid, Clue, Monopoly, the Game of Life, and the like. Because of my strokes, simple games are challenging for me. Reading game instructions is difficult when you cannot read very well. If I have to concentrate I usually get a headache. Sometimes I get confused if it is a complex game...
