Yup.  I really enjoyed those days.  Toward the end, I 
drove a suburban to games so I could muscle my way out 
of the parking lot in less than an hour.  All charged 
up with a win, or less than pleased with a defeat, 
surrounded by a hundred other wired guys.  How I got 
home with never a fender bender I'll never know.
