Yes, I'm proud of JD

The past two days, JD has come up to me at some point and expressed her strong desire to play MarioKart as soon as the kids are down to sleep. Last night, as soon as I left the boys' room, she and I gathered in the living room and played MarioKart for a couple of hours.

The lady is tolerant of my video game playing, but has little to no interest in playing herself. Today, while playing on the Wii with the boys, she came to me and told me how frustrated she was watching the boys race. She wanted to feel free to race on her own terms and the tracks of her choosing...so, she plans on playing it again tonight as soon as everyone is asleep. Hopefully, she'll get some quality time racing by herself between when the boys go down and I return from the Scout meeting tonight. Besides, she needs the practice. :)

Wii seems to bring everybody together. They should be paramount to any Palestinian/Israeli peace deal. When the price goes down here in the next year, I imagine I'll buy one, which will be the first video game system I've bought since the Super Nintendo.

We Wike Wii

I must say that I am VERY PLEASED with the amount of fun my whole family has had playing with the Wii the past few days. Nigel (3yo) can't play for squat, but he enjoys playing and he has shown improvement when he's paying attention to what he's doing. When he can do the trigger correctly and throws the ball down the lane (instead of back into the spectators), Nigel is decent at the bowling game. It was nice when my brother bought me a Gamecube a few years ago, but Wii has won everyone over immediately.
