Reprieve

I picked up a Wii soon after it came out, primarily (seriously!) so Rachel could finally play Super Metroid and the Metroid Prime series.  She enjoyed the 16-bit game but 3D was just Not The Same, so the Wii mostly lay idle.  Although Super Metroid was Matthew's favorite game for a while, too.

So, with Wiis selling used for almost new prices, I asked Rachel if we should liquidate it.  "Sure," she said.  "But wait: what about Wii Fit?"

"I think it's kind of boring, but we have it at work, so you can try it if you want," I said.

Today she tried it.  We are keeping the Wii.

I think she is hoping that my competitive instincts will be roused and I will not be able to keep myself from trying to break her records.  She is probably right.
