I finally got rid of that weird avatar and decided to use my over-the-hill picture. (That picture has the Washington DC Cherry blossoms in the background.) Being over 60 is actually a relief. Most of my family, well over a hundred years ago, lived well into their 80s, 90s and 100s. I plan to live to be 135 at the least...God willing and the world doesn't end first.
My wife thinks that Freelancer is just another game. She reads a lot. That is like me saying that her IPod is just another gadget. Come to think of it - it is. You can't play Freelancer on it, right?
Freelancer is a totally absorbing electronic universe that I can escape into when I need to clear out my head. My book of CF system charts is my handy reference. I can ease myself into a Freelancer game and forget things that really bother me.
Do I think I'm too old for Freelancer? Not by a long shot. This game and the people behind the Mods, keep me young at heart, my mind active and looking forward to the next update.
I don't believe you can ever be too old to play Freelancer.
I know that I must grow old, but no one ever told me that I had to grow up. Just consider me a young man - twice removed.
May you all live to be old enough to be young again!
Freelancers - I salute you all!
