The other night at 9:00pm, a pair of Mormons show up on my doorstep. I had difficulty arguing the lateness since I was in the middle of playing Lego Batman with my daughter, though I managed to slip out of any lengthy conversation by stating that I was about to get the kids to bed (something I legitimately should have been doing). A part of me secretly imagined what might ensue if a pair of Jehovah’s Witnesses had happened upon my porch at the same time. The following morning during my commute, I imagined myself playing devil’s advocate with them regarding their faith. But really, who am I to throw stones – they are entitled to their beliefs. Though I’d like to think that I’m equally entitled to my privacy. If they return, it will likely be to square off with my better half – after which they won’t be back. 🙂

Blurbsday: A-Wii We Go
We have been Wii-ed. I bought a Wii system (complete with several accessories and games including the Fit) from a friend and spent part of my evening setting it up and the rest playing around with it with my daughter. After creating Miis for each of us, she and I tried our hand at bowling, golf, and Super Mario Party (the last of which ended up eating up a couple hours of time). She is only 5, so she can’t read the screens and has trouble getting the motions right, but she is learning and having a blast. Funny that before this system hit the market, I was one of the many who assumed they wouldn’t stand a chance against the competition (since the Wii is pretty much just a jazzed up GameCube with motion control). In hindsight, it was kind of a brilliant strategy on their part.
