This is where I am. I'm involved in and interested in so many of Tim's
interests. But I just cannot summon one iota of interest in PacMan. I have
been called over to see many things, and have (hopefully) appeared duly
interested. But the brutal truth is that I can hardly even see the darn
things on the gameboy screen. My vision ain't so great anymore...

I do feel bad some days that I'm not more involved in that. But I've quit
worrying about the hours spent on it, and have cheered his winning.

Today he was commenting that there was a "thing" on the PacMan game that
looked a lot like Gandolf's staff, and also like a Bishop's staff.
Interesting connection. I suppose this, too, is educational, huh, Sandra?

It might lead him to be interested in _Man and His Symbols_ by Jung, or just
the concept of artistic motifs cross cultures.
