Finally, last night I got a game night. Actually, my girlfriend has been playing board games with me for the past two weeks. And that is a relief. But last night I got to play a role-playing game online. There was a piece shared by my boss on how we shouldn't be arguing with our children during this time. Instead of arguing about helping around the house, invite them to learn how to do the laundry. Instead of insisting they do their schoolwork, give them a hug. That sort of thing. I think there is a therapeutic value in gaming. And RPGs, in particular, allow us to enter a fantasy world (whether it is a scifi setting or a horror setting or whatever) and live out our fears, desires, dreams and nightmares. So last night I got to play an RPG for several hours. I didn't even notice the pain in my back from sitting on the kitchen stool for three hours. It felt good. Next time, I'll kill an orc in your name. ;)
