might need some help from a KLOVer in the GA area..
Guys, I want to do something for my cousin who lives in GA. I really hope he doesn't read this site, considering the request I'm about to make (I don't think that he does):
My cousin is a great guy, and is 4 years younger than me. He's low-key, no temper, real nice, keeps to himself, great worker, all-around good dude. His wedding anniversary is the day after my wife's and mine.
Well, 2 things have happened: first, his birthday was May 16th. And then there's the second thing...
He and his wife are getting divorced. I don't want to go into the specifics, bc I like both of the people involved. But sadly, long story short, things have not worked out and the wife is moving out. My cousin does a good job of hiding things, but I know it's really hitting him hard. If I remember correctly, they were just coming up on 10 years of marriage.
Every time he comes up to visit, he can't say enough about my (g)arcade. He loves everything about it. He tells others he meets about it. He's been to arcade museums while traveling for work and he always sends me pics. In the wake of what has happened in his life, I think that something that might help partially fill the void in his home once the ex is gone is, an arcade game. I think it would be a cool surprise. Prob is, I live in MD..
I know there are some KLOVers down by him (I looked some up when I was down his way visiting back in 2008, and I was going to try to catch up with a few if time allowed), and I'm wondering if anyone might help me surprise him with a game at his house if I can make it happen? Right now I have no idea what game, as he doesn't have any particular favorite. But, I know his age, his interests, where he grew up, all that data so, I'm thinking that with the help of the crew here, maybe we could not only target a good game for him, but also physically get one to him?
I really want to do something to cheer him up because he's always been like the little brother I never had, and he's a good dude. This isn't something that should have happened to a person like him in my book.
Now taking suggestions and questions!

UPDATE: I also just remembered that it was with his family that I went to the one and only Showbiz pizza place I've ever been to in my life. I think it was when we were visiting him and his family in Denton, TX (his father moved alot for work).
