Last night my wife afforded me the opportunity to get away for a few hours to play pinball at Pinball Wizard Arcade in Pelham, NH. I’m finding that I get very antsy to play every couple weeks. Instead of playing the whole time, I walked around and photographed every working pinball machine in the arcade.

Here’s one example:

If you’d like to see what you’re missing at this awesome arcade…

My brother-in-law Jeff and my son’s mentor Max joined me for pinball in Pelham, NH last night as mom and Aunt Fabienne did my wife’s hair and watched the baby. It was my first time at Pinball Wizard on a Saturday night, and the place was buzzing with excitement. It was also the first time I took my camera to the arcade.

Here’s Jeff taking Rudy’s abuse in Funhouse and liking it:
