I am sad. Today I figured out why I don't feel very good. I think that chocolate, or more specifically milk chocolate, is triggering some headaches for me. It makes sense because I have always loved chocolate but I have always not felt so good after eating it.

We bought a Wii.  It was fun.  Until... (sigh)

I decided I wanted to try out Wii Sports Baseball.  My daughter Kelley obliged me as the opponent since my wife was not home.  Our first couple games were scoreless as neither of us were faring very well with the controls.  And then...it happened.

I was lobbing 60mph fastballs at her trying to give her a fair shot of hitting one. 

If you can't tell by now, I'm more than a little bit ashamed of this.

She got one in her wheelhouse and took it out of the park on me.

She wasn't so thrilled about that little stunt, so I had to do this to get her to play with me again :

I have a few chief "thank you's" to the makers of Rock Band, one semi-sarcastic and the others genuine.

First of all, thank you to Harmonix for proving what my wife has been saying on car trips for a decade - I can't sing worth shit.  I started a Rock Band solo tour and was boo'ed off the stage twice in three songs (on Easy mode, no less).  I never knew I had such a tin ear.  The only song that I actually got through was Nirvana's "In Bloom" and even that was REALLY dicey.
