The last of the "home game" is gone and its just bars and restaurants (plus a church in Arnold, MO) that left having NTN/Buzztime systems.

The "management" at Paddy McGuidos' in Naples, FL decided to pull the plug on Buzztime on August 4, 2010.

For those of you who don't know, Nora and I are the proud parents of a healthy baby girl named Kathryn Elizabeth. She was born Friday, April 30th at 1:48pm (EST) in Fort Myers, FL. She weighed 7 pounds 4 ounces and was 20 inches long at birth.

Since Kathryn's arrival, we tried everything to keep the game in the house thinking it would be nice to have while we catered to Kathryn's needs. Believe me, when she starts kicking and screaming in the middle of a Playback game, the attention seems to shift from the game to the baby. Honestly and truthfully, Nora and I just came to our senses and realized that this was just becoming an expensive system that we hardly used anymore. And, the money we were paying out to Buzztime over the past four years was enough to buy a small car outright. Were we in hock because of the trivia system? Not hardly. Our business was able to support the system, but when we were looking at increasing the bottom line...the trivia had to go. It made the best sense and our silent partners/investors agreed.

We're not sure when we'll see a Playmaker again. It may be next week, next month, next year. Who knows? For the time we had the game, it was fun. It was nice to sit at home and play, but when the priorities started shifting last fall when I started my doctoral classes and Nora preparing for Kathryn's arrival, the game didn't seem fun anymore.

Currently, Kathryn is three months old. She's smiling, cooing, and occasionally laughing when we talk to her or make funny faces. Typical parents. It's funny how Nora and I can go from an intelligent conversation with each other to talking baby babble to Kathryn in minutes. Kathryn is a good baby. We love her alot! Do I remember what my life was like three months ago prior to Kathryn's arrival? I don't remember. Kathryn filled a void in our lives and we wouldn't have it any other way.

Take care everyone!

The Players Formerly Known As "HAQQER" and "JADE"

As to house sites, there is at least one left if not more, one is just down the street from the Redskins training camp.

We will miss seeing Paddy's on the board on Tuesday nights.

You must mean you will miss seeing HAL, WOPR, DELL, LOQTIS, Mac, COMPAQ, INTEL, and HP on Tuesday nights.

Congratulations on the new addition to the family. Regardless, I don't think that the 'FHAQQR' handle will be retired.

As long as LILJOL doesn't get too tired, anyway

Since FHQQER may not be playing nearly as much as he once did , more than a lil consideration is being given to F someone or something else. [/color]

LOL! But instead of that, could it possibly be......JBUFFT?

(The masses are clamoring to see the sign again )

Now THIS is the kind of stuff we need to do polls for.
Would you care for a few suggestions?
