Weee!

Or rather Wii. We decided to join the 21st century and buy and up-to-date gaming system. The last video game I played was the classic Nintendo and the last one Kent played was Sega. To say we're a little behind the times is an understatement. A Wii, for those of you that don't know, has a wireless controller that interacts with a sensor you put on the top of your TV. Wii is really cool for sports games because instead of just pushing buttons you actually use the remote as, say a tennis racket or a javelin.

The Wii also connects to the internet and you can download the classic Nintendo games. This is my favorite, FAVORITE thing. I used to love all the old Mario games but when my Nintendo died there was no way to play them. Now, I just connect Wii to my internet connection and voila for $5 I can download my favorite classic games.

I will have to say goodbye to Wii (and Kent) tomorrow though because I leave for my visit home. I'm really excited to get back and see everyone but I hate to be away from Kent and the animals for so long. Of course, Kent will be home for the actual holiday but then he has to leave again. And naturally I'm really excited to see my friend Susy. We're going to take a quick trip out to Las Vegas. Susy's been to America a number of times but hasn't seen much besides Colorado and Las Vegas is a really easy trip to make. I just had to promise not to gamble away our life savings. I think I can handle that.
