Any Pokemon Go players? (2.Viewing)

After taking a 3+ year break, I just started playing again this week. Who knew that a Father of a 20 year old Daughter could be playing a “kids game” and still enjoy doing it.

I knew a father that did that with his late teens, he is divorced now.

Can't tell you if that was the reason but he sure spent a lot of time playing that game. We had a two family walk, dogs everything, his wife hung with us while him and his kids played virtual games. I remember saying that for being connected he sure was disconnected.

So don't forget the important stuff and remember to turn that screen off when you're in real nature.

Yes, absolutely. When we go for a nice hike, she knows that I don’t like phones for that.

I also kind of have a “no phone policy” when we go for dinner. That has to be one of my biggest peeves when a family is out together for a nice family meal and everyone is on their phones.

Follows me flying, flies when I pursue it,
Stands and lies by me, doth what I have done.”
