re: Pokeman Go!

I was sitting in a pub last night with my oldest son. He was doing something with his phone and promptly excused himself. He went to the other side of the pub, played with his phone, and then came back to the table, grinning ear to ear! "Got it" he said. I inquired what did he "get?" And he showed me a Pokemon he had just caught. He told me he had just sent a "lure" and got up again as another Pokemon was nearby. This time, there were three other people also trying to catch this Pokemon; it's almost like a "social club," as some dude sat down with us and proceeded to have a match with my son. He told me it is a great way to met girls as well. Apparently, it is the latest "game craze" for the younger folks. Then he tells me I would probably like it and should try it. I hold up my trusty TRAC "flip-phone" and we both laugh. (Too stupid for a smart phone and don't know how to "text" either; I have become the cranky old man)

Check it out and go out and catch them all!
