The Doctor Weighs In

I don't have time write much tonite.  Tomorrow is a big day.  The company I work for, Universal American - a senior focused healthcare company, is sponsoring a Wii Bowling Tournament for seniors in Houston. You can google the event "Texan Plus Wii Bowling Tournament" or I can just tell you that we think that close to 3000 seniors are going to converge on the local stadium (Reliant Stadium) to virtually bowl to their heart's delight.

We think the event is a big deal.  The Guiness Book of World Records is coming to determine if we are sponsoring the biggest Wii Bowling Tournament in the world.  Can you believe that? 

I googled Wii Bowling the other night and found out that this is a cultural phenomenon.  This is what folks are doing in their spare (pun) time.  And it is great.  So much better than sedentarily (word?) munching on chips while watching the soaps.

It turns out that Wii is rapidly becoming an exercise vehicle of choice for young, old and everyone else (who I guess are the "middle-aged"). 

Wii is a very cool way to get exercise.  You all trying it?  Folks with kids still at home evidently already have a Wii, but even us "middle-agers" are eyeing the Wii as it goes on sale this month.  I would really like to improve my tennis game.  I hear Wii can help me get a power serve (or at least get the ball in the right place).
