Our household had a big surprise a few days before Christmas, when a Wii game console suddenly showed up at our front door.<\/p>\n

Turns out, friends of ours read that we had no plans to get one for the holidays<\/a>, what with cash tight and yadda yadda.\u00c2\u00a0 They thought about how much they loved theirs, phoned up a friend who runs a Game Store, and sent us a Wii.\u00c2\u00a0 Just like that.<\/p>\n

The generosity of it still has us in shock.\u00c2\u00a0 All we really can say about it is that it goes to what we’ve known for years: people from Pittsburgh are simply GOOD PEOPLE.<\/p>\n

We’ve been slowly trying it out over the past few weeks.\u00c2\u00a0 It is very, very cool.<\/p>\n

Then, yesterday, I scored a Wii Fit board for $89.\u00c2\u00a0 And OH. MY. GOODNESS.<\/p>\n

Here is some video of the kids… golf, yoga, and our personal favorite, Kate skiing.<\/p>\n

The Fit is a household HIT.\u00c2\u00a0 And inspired the following Facebook discussion by Paul:<\/p>\n

\n—<\/p>\n

Paul’s Facebook Update, 6:08am, January 21<\/em>: Paul can’t help idly speculating about Wii Kama Sutra now that he’s tried the Wii Fit.<\/p>\n

A friend at 6:19am<\/em>
\nThat’s just wrong. Interesting, but wrong.<\/p>\n

Another friend at 7:07am<\/em>
\nHave you seen the Wii Pee? I think it is only in Japan, but damm that is funny.<\/p>\n

Yet another at 7:25am<\/em>
\nSounds hilarious!<\/p>\n

Still another at 7:38am<\/em>
\n“Daddy, why does the Wii-mote smell like potty?”<\/p>\n

Me at 8:49am<\/em>
\nNOW I know what you’re spending all that time coding over…<\/p>\n

Different friend at 11:23am<\/em>
\nThat is soooooo funny! LMAO! You know I could imagine it, I was called to a domestic dispute that turned out to be a husband and wife playing Wii Boxing!! The neighbors could see them through the window and called 911! Imagine the calls for the new Kama Sutra!<\/p>\n

Back to Paul at 10:19pm<\/em>
\nWell, given that iPod Touches, Wii Fit, and MySpace are all hot items right now, I have decided to seek venture capital to fund me to develop an iPod Touch application that can be used to publish your Wii Fit progress to your MySpace Page. I figure I can call it “iTouch myWii”.<\/p>\n

\nYes, ladies and gentlemen, there you have it.\u00c2\u00a0 My darling husband, the future creator of “iTouch myWii.”<\/p>\n

And Ed and Brenda: THANK YOU!!!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
