If you're one of the few who managed to get a new Wii for Christmas (we got ours back in late September), this thread is a good one to bookmark and go back to on occasion. The replies are just coming in, but there are some good suggestions for getting even more enjoyment than beating the pants off your kids in Wii bowling *:^)

Apart from traversing Tiger mountain, I also managed to get in a coastal-to-burke-gilman ride in and paid a visit to Alderwood Community Church (which I'll be heading back to as well).

The highlight (apart from my attempt at making chili in my tiny abode) was the purchase of a Wii (Mary suggested it, so I'm not sure what they've been slipping into her Diet Coke back east). I may do some game reviews as we all finally come together and start playing it. Despite what you may have heard, finding one was as easy as going to SAMS Club and taking a ticket up to the counter. It's amazing to see how Nintendo can keep such a tight hold on pricing controls, even when it comes to Wal-Mart (SAMS Club is just a subsidiary of the giant retailer). The console is (like all consoles) a potential money pit, tho. Controllers; accessories; games; etc. A good racket.

We should close on the old house Friday if all works out and be settled here (partially) on the 12^th and completely on the 18^th.
