Forgive me if I misunderstand your post from the start here, however ...
It is you who have said that "always make time for games", at least, those were the words that you have advocated to me on many occasions ... is it possible that you're having a change of heart?
I do agree about the gaming venue type things. There have been times that I have played ED in places that had more of Games Workshop type games ... and kinda became disenchanted about it simply because it felt strange running a typical RPG game in a shop that likes micromanaging measurements on scaled well detailed terrains for combat... Sigh. Maybe we're just becoming Grumpy Old Men, jmac.
Hmmm.
