Do you remember Christmas, 2006? That was the year that your neighbor’s grandma ran you over with her shopping cart as she raced to the game aisle in hopes of being one of the lucky few to take home a Wii. That was the year that scalpers chose to buy up as many Wii’s as possible just to double the price to desperate shoppers on the Internet.
Have you played a Wii yet? I had probably played a total of an hour of video games in all my life up until that magical day in 2007… It would be too dramatic to say that my life was transformed into castles and royalty, but my living room has!
If you haven’t heard about the Wii yet, where’ve you been??? The Wii by Nintendo uses tv remote-like game controllers that wirelessly send signals to the system. Games like golf, bowling and boxing are played with full body motions like in real life, giving you a workout that no previous type of video game offered.
You can do yoga with an interactive instructor combined with a camera that tracks your movements, race cars against real people around the world, play trivia and game shows and even learn to play a musical instrument. The Wii has brought video games to a whole new level.
So why am I blogging about the Wii? Simple. It has the power to not only unite a family, but also rejuvenate your spirit. It challenges your mind and your body. You may think you’re too old or just don’t like video games. But have you tried a Wii? I’m not backing down here… Rent one, try it
Physically handicapped or housebound folks can now golf 18 holes easily from their living room. Grandparents can play soccer with their grandkids on a rainy day. Stay-at-home parents can work out without a babysitter. Families can bowl without breaking the piggy bank each time. Get my point?

So this is where I stand… ready to golf, ready to cycle, ready to wakeboard. Where do you stand?
