We are officially basement dwellers as of this afternoon. Our two pinball machines, The Shadow and World Poker Tour, arrived today. They are rumored to be the first in a growing collection and obsession… I mean passion. So, the nice playdate we had early afternoon with new friends pales in comparison to the excitement that these loud flashy techno-boxes provide. I must say, I do love seeing my son play pinball. There is no activity to be found in any classroom or on any playground that provides the level of training in eye-hand coordination, reaction speed, bilateral coordination, and focus that pinball provides. There are a multitude of other physical and cognitive benefits, to be sure. Yes, he’s up late tonight, but who can resist. It’s a pinball party in our basement! I needed a break to rest my wrists! Come over and play pinball with us; it’s on Free Play!
