 Ad> I'm glad you're getting whatever connection you can, while you can.

Yes me too, and thanks :)

 Ad> And we played more minigolf together, which is fun. We tend to explore
 Ad> and see the new courses together, as they're released.

this sounds like fun, I can only think of two courses nearby where I am and I have not played either in many years, perhaps I soon shall!

 Ad> That said, on the less-pleasant aspects, my mom's memory isn't great, so
 Ad> most every game I wind up re-explaining some game mechanic.

If it helps my wife does this with me for card games we sometime play when she can stomach explaining the rules again to me - ha!

 Ad> And then we generally ask trivia questions, after that. Or, rather, I ask
 Ad> everyone else trivia questions because I can use a thing that's
 Ad> published in a newspaper I subscribe to. It's interesting to see what
 Ad> holes in knowledge people have.

feels like the start of a joke.. a mini golfer walks into a classroom ... :)

 Ad> E.g., science is a reliable category for me, but other people, outside
 Ad> of my brother, can struggle with things like the order of the planets in
 Ad> the solar system. Which I tend to think of as grade-school knowledge, at
 Ad> least for the major planets.

Remind me not to play a competitive game of mini golf with you :)

But if you're ever over in New Zealand there's at lest two places we could have a game, but perhaps minus the trivia questions as I'd suck at them too :)
