My brother brought over his Nintendo Wii and a boxing game to my birthday party. Concept in a nutshell – for anyone living under a rock since this thing’s debut – is that you hold a controller in each hand, jump around and punch the air like a madman, and your video game avatar beats the heck out of your opponent (or vice versa).

Only two matches and the next day my right arm was falling off and my shoulder blade felt like I’d been working on a chain gang. No, it has nothing to do with turning 40. 😉

40??! Wow… 🙂 Happy (Belated) Birthday!!!
Thanks! Not sure how it crept up like that. It’s like ninja-40 or something. 😉
Have you heard of the phenomenon caused by the WIIs? People are CRASHING THROUGH their TV sets from the wrist straps breaking–or just standing too darn close. A co-worker’s 7-year old son cracked through their big screen TV Christmas week! (He was standing much, much too close). Her TV repair guy said she was the fourth person with that problem that week–and this is in a very small, podunk town here outside of Rochester!
