Modern Play

In the lives we live today; people have more time to play. perhaps because the toys are faster; with video games and loud sound blasters. Online gaming sites galore; people are still demanding more. Games to play on their smart phones; they can easily just play them alone. Exercise games for television; at least they are, within reason. Tablet games and movies too; sporting games as well; who knew? Best of all, board games are back; and I still have the winning knack!

There's something about not having to waste time booting up a machine, just to play a game...the best part, you can play during the worst storms with candle or flashlight. Thanks for stopping by.

Many of us are sure play dogs, aren't we? My play is simply watching movies and tv, but I love playing with words, so at least that one is exercising my brain a bit!! Well done here.
