As you may have heard, my dad recently updated the family pinball table, Banzai Run. The old lights have been replaced with LED ones that really shine, all the sounds are working, and the machine plays as closely to how it did when I was eight as it ever will. We still have to reset the extra balls so they come every million (currently it's every 1.2 million), and then, in the interest of starting with a blank slate, reset the high score table. Before the update, I held all four high scores, three of which were greater than the maximum score the machine can show (9999999).

For Father's Day, dad and I decided to play a game of Banzai Run. We haven't figured out how to reset the table yet, so we just decided to play with the old extra ball and high score settings. My first ball drained right away, but then I found my footing, eventually beating the king three times and crossing the finish line. I ended the game with about 15 million, which rolled over to 9999999, putting all four of my high scores at the table's supremum. I'd say it was a pretty good game to christen the updated table.

For my brothers' sakes, I guess it is time to reset the high scores. But, they'd better bring up their game if they want to spend much time on the high score table.

Maybe they spend too much time being doctors and lawyers? But Phil you still surpass what they could do in their prime, pre-job, years.
