Still a Dumb Name

Yes, I have been pleased with my recent purchase of a ‘Wii’ console gaming system. See how carefully I wrote that sentence to avoid everyone’s inner 12-year-olds? It’s worse than selling a Chevy Nova in Mexico.

Anyhoo. It’s the first non-PC gaming system I’ve owned since my Commodore 64, and I’ve been delighted that it’s broken through my cynical & jaded gamer outlook to provide some moments of pure glee. I’ve been leisurely exploring Super Mario Galaxy, but have gotten still more mileage out of the bundled Wii Sports - Tennis mostly. Did you know that your ratings graph goes up outside of the entire graph pane at about 2020? :-)

Hey you in WA. Why don’t we hang out more? You know, now that we can. I need to be more intentional about getting together with all those friends we were excited to see when we moved back.
