Even though the numbers seemed funny at the time, it is obvious now that DS is a much more balanced person than I am. As of last night, my physical age is 75 and my brain age 33.
Apparently the lust for (next-gen) gaming does not drop with age and Nintendo does a great job with bringing some appropriate sense into this as a good excuse to find time. (Not an issue with DS [edit: aha, confusing, meant the Nintendo DS Lite this time, as opposed to the DS person linked above], given the extensive flying on European routes with shrinking seat space often prohibiting you to open a computer).
Thanks a lot for the b-day gifts!
