I mentioned earlier that our daughter, Cricket, had introduced us to the Wii game console, and that our daughter Shimmy has one, as well as one of our local friends. Well, as of this past Friday, we have become Wii! Cricket found one at her local China-Mart in Forgottonia and picked it up for us. They brought it with them Friday evening and spent Friday evening and Saturday morning making sure we knew the care, feeding, and usage of the beast!
I'm forced to say that Wii is an enjoyable pastime - so far. It may be less exercise than a brisk walk, but it sure beats sitting and computing, or watching the boob tube for working up a sweat!
WonderMom and I had our first opportunity to attack it on our own today, and it was fun! WonderMom cleans my clock in bowling, but I can still beat her on the golf links. Give her time! Tennis is still a challenge for us both.
Wii also connects to the Internet, wirelessly, and can provide news and weather channels that are usable. There are also Wii shopping channels available, which Nintendo would appreciate us using - NOT!
Well, WonderMom has gone to bed, so I think I'll get in a little solo bowling practice, heh, heh, heh!
