Introduce Yourself!

Hello,
My name is John. I live in Maryland, 48 YO, married, mortgage, kids, etc. My first yoyo was a Duncan (wooden/fixed axle) I bought at the local Ben Franklins. Fast forward about 20 yrs.
I got interested again when Yomega was king. I have to admit that if I had followed some basic advice and bought a Dark Magic earlier in my latest buying binge, I would have saved a lot of money. Ounce for ounce the DM can’t be beat! I’d like to pay homage to Andre and his associates for their contributions to this type of site - particularly the videos of all the tricks. I have learned more from watching (and practicing) hour after hour then any other source.
I look forward to learning from everyone and getting tips, suggestions, etc. Thanks!
