Pac Man Fever

Emma has Pac Man fever and it's hilarious. Our $20 investment in a retro game system is a huge hit. While she might enjoy the game, she'll never understand the significance it has in my and many other lives. I'm actually old enough (barely) to remember the songs, shirts, books, and general mania spawned by Pac Man. It also served as my first exposure to a computer although, I didn't know it at the time. I never could have imagined that some day I'd have my own little five year old cheering section yelling with excitement as I gobbled up those nondescript little dots in a never changing maze. I also never imagined there would be someone laughing hysterically when Blinky, Pinky, Inky, or Clyde finally caught up with me.
