Z for ABC Wednesday

ABC Wednesday


Zzzz
My new-found zest for exercise is zany! The shiny new Wii begs to be played.

Yesterday I bowled to the applause of a virtual audience and was later asked to concede in a practice golf game when my swings numbered ten and the ball was nowhere near the green.

The fun-filled fitness test indicated that I am four Wii years less than my actual age. I'm dedicated to restoring myself to twenty and no, I'm not saying how many half-centuries that might be.

As soon as my oatmeal settles, I'll wakeboard or cycle on a sunny desert island while the local weather flings snow pellets and frigid wind.

When the balance board arrives by UPS today, I'll practice yoga and balance, stair stepping, biking and other zany, zesty moves. Maybe even Zumba...when I get fitness'd back to before.

Today is another zappy (lively, entertaining) day for Mii. How is yours?

My Mii!

Wii, Mii and They

I might have spoken too soon regarding Wii bowling with grandkids.

Last weekend I Wii'd with the fave 4-year- old and faced an uphill battle. It was his first time and he didn't give a rip about form. Matter-of-fact, I gasped when he threw the ball overhand one time and high-fived me when the pins scattered. More concerned about form, I worked very hard to garner an almost tie game.

I'll have to make a choice soon. Practice more OR be whupped by a short, young alpha male.

Today, I read about a man, who at age 106, still bowls in league and...well, you can read the rest of the story here. Amazing! It gives me hope. When form is gone, function remains, maybe.

Wii, Mii and We

Oh! It was much better than I imagined.

I told you once about the competition among my grandkids and me with the original Nintendo when they were young and I wasn't so old, too!

Today, three of them and I golfed, bowled and gave Zelda a run on the new Wii connected to a 32" screen TV. To stand and swing a club or bend low to roll the ball down the alley is an amazing workout as well as virtually credible.

Anyway, I whipped some of those young adults at golf and some at bowling. They were surprised and I'm still happy ~ and lucky that no one begged me to box, play tennis or baseball which are playable options on this newest Nintendo console. The ability to design avatars for any number of right or left-handed players is worth an hour or so of giggle.

The grandson said he'd trade the new Wii and fifty bucks boot for my original Nintendo console. I asked why. 'I think they're gonna be worth a lot of money.' He's so like his dad. Laughing.

It was an offer I could refuse so I came home with a borrowed DaVinci Code DVD, a container of scrumptious spaghetti with sauce, a piece of yummery home-made apple pie, enough video clips to post a new YouTube, a sure-to-stiffen shoulder and a stomach sore from laughter.

I can hardly wait to get my own Wii. Maybe I'll trade the treadmill.
