When my parents passed away over the last two years, we went through their house. They had childhood memento boxes for each of us. Mine still had my field day ribbons from the mid-70s. My wife was not impressed.

Was that the one that had like an almost iPhone keypad and you'd slide the cards into it to play different games?  Or was that Calico?  A neighbor had one of 'em and we rocked the baseball game for hours on end during the Winter.  

My SiL just gave my girls her old Nintendo Wii.  And I worried, and they will might, they'd it boring and too antiquated.  But for peak hot summer afternoons, we thought it'd be fun for them have one hour per day of bowling/tennis/etc.  And it's weird to watch because it was like peak gaming technology just a decade ago.  And now it's like playing Atari 5200.  But they don't know that, they think it was invented just recently.  But reminds me of our Pong game and then we got an Atari 2600 and then an NES.  And it was like watching the future unfurl before your very brain as a kid.  I haven't even looked at a video game in several years.  But there was something about wiping off the McDonald's grease from your hands to enter the cheat code for Contra on NES.  Now every game console has a controller with 37 buttons.  To a simpler time, I suppose...

Yes. Instead of a joy stick you used a disk which gave me my first case of carpal tunnel syndrome.

"A golfer"

More like

"Marries the best player since Tiger that's been insanely driven and competitive from a young age"

It's not like she married some goofball like Bubba Watson or Jason Dufner.

I was in Prague once at a locals Pub. Old Dude was acting a bit weird at the bar but everyone knew him and chatted him; i never got to. Banged back 3 or 4 pints. Then, he got up to leave and pulled out his blind cane thingy, and expertly negotiated leaving the bar and down the streets for home. Smooth as fuck.

Not sure the takeaway.
