Memories

It's a testament of TWHL's community that I am still returning to this site almost two decades after I first joined.
I no longer map, as I have moved on to other things in life. I still play Portal 2 and Minecraft with my son regularly, nevertheless. I don't play much games on my own now.
I have committed myself to lots of community service projects--donating books to schools, helping old ladies with their smoke detectors, and delivering food to the poor. I read several books a week to keep myself entertained (by the way, you should all read "Turtles All the Way Down" if you haven't already.
I'll be around for decades more. I plan to retire in 12 years, and I will probably devote my time writing fiction. My son would have graduated from college by then. We'll see.

Of course I will simply stop making maps one day in the future, but not just yet, and it is highly unlikely that I will ever stop gaming full stop.
Retirement seems so very far away at the moment that I couldn't even imagine how I'd spend that time, but I guess I'll have a better idea closer to the time... (38 years to go yet...)
Our finances allow us to retire in our fifties, and we plan to have an active retirement. I will still work part-time, but we will travel the world and continue do crazy stuff.
P.S. I was playing Minecraft by myself last night while my son was at soccer practice.
When I moved to London for work in June 2017, I wasn't able to get my computer down with me.
A year and a half later, I've finally had it couriered down now that I've moved to a flat big enough for a desk (London rent prices are amongst the worst in the world), and although I was excited with the idea in theory, in practice the computer has remained un-powered in the corner of my room.
Dunno, I just don't have that itch anymore.
As we grow, we change. And that's not always a bad thing.
