Halo all you angels and angles who do the math,
My wife and I visited some friends over the past few days and we finally were able to play the Nintendo Wii. I have been wanting to play that system for awhile now.
It is a pretty fun system to play. It is not that hard to play either. For the one person who does not know how to play, you just flick your wrist with the controller in your hand. You don't have to do like I did and swing your whole arm, unless you like looking stupid.
The game that we played was the Sports pack. It includes tennis, bowling, boxing, golf, and baseball. I think my favorite was tennis and bowling. Although, I got beat pretty bad in all of them.
I now realize why I do not have a game system.
By the way, special thanks to Diane & company for keeping us rolling when we are flat tired.

Waving the white flag
Well I know it has been a few days since I have embarrassed myself by publishing a post...so here it goes.
I was recently on a staff (fortunately, not the pointed end) retreat with people from work. About 80 of us went to a facility owned by the main company. It was a pretty good time. The retreat was to focus on the future, specifically the next ten years. Of course they had the team building activities slash outdoor games. Our team was tied for last place, but it was still somewhat fun.
I never realized that a lot of the people I work with are so competitive. The games were definitely designed for those with type A, get it done personalities. You could see who liked to be in charge.
The place we stayed was a nice conference center. The room was nice. The food was good. The company was not so bad. I suppose there could have been worse people to be stowed away with for two days.
It was interesting that the last day felt like a summer camp and I would not see those people again for awhile. I suppose twelve hours does count.

Weighing in on love
I saw in the paper this morning that the world's heaviest man is getting married.
Manuel Uribe, from Mexico, weighed in 2006 at 1230 pounds. It does say that since he has lost 550 pounds with the help of fiancee, Claudia Solis. That was his wallet. Just kidding. It may have been his heart. Awww. Or ewwww how you look at it.
The two will be wed October 26th in a civil ceremony at a location to be decided. I wonder if they will pay the extra 43 cents and get it super sized.
Uribe is unable to walk and if he goes out in public has to be towed through the streets in a special made bed. One good thing...instant honeymoon.
Uribe does say that he will have cake, but only one piece due to his diet. That leaves more for the rest of us. Road trip!
