My evolution into a gamer began way before the name "Mom" ever came into existence in my reality. Growing up, my family and I spent many a weekend playing boardgames like LIFE, Monopoly, and Clue. We also grew up with a healthy dose of card games such as Spades and Pinochle tournaments. It was a time when home computers weren't a staple in every house and video game consoles were still "babies in diapers". The word "gamer" wasn't found in the dictionary. Getting the picture yet? Yes, sounds a bit post-apocalyptic in this tech everywhere world, but it was a "simpler time" as the old folks say, and I'm NOT including myself in that category.
