freiherr mentioned collecting stuff over the years and it's true the stuff we collect takes up space.
When I was young I used to hear people say all the time funny things like "he who dies with the most toys wins".
A funny saying cause I always liked to think "he who lives with the most toys wins".
But after getting divorced and keeping ALL my toys (much to the dislike of the other vampire parties involved) I now know why dying with the most toys now makes sense. It's about getting them and keeping them ! :)
The problem as u get older is you get rid of the kids and downsize.
How do you downsize when a pinball collection takes up so much space. ?
In 20 years or 25 years I will be 65 or 70. I can imagine young people looking over and saying look at that old man playing pinball like a teenager, riding a JetSki and driving a V8 sports car.
Will I look funny at 65 or 70 playing The Walking Dead pinball or X Men or Bugs Bunny and so on.
Seems like a great way to get old and look funny.
Gary Stern will be in a wheel chair powering up n down the Stern factory still doing TV interviews.
Some things get better with age. Pinball is probably one of them.
