Christmas has come and gone. Increasingly video games play a bigger role in the presents to the kids (it’s always a big part of my gifts and has been for a while). I’m a good gamer so I don’t get beaten that often by my kids but it happens. Now my best bud Sam is not a gamer and has no interest in the as much as I have tried to convert him. This year for Christmas he bought a Wii for his son. He’ll still not be a gamer because the Wii will stay at the boys house. Sam did share with me that when they played on Christmas day he was beaten by his son in the first game of bowling and had never played before. His son is young and will have the console at his house so he’ll get better. I know Sam and he is competitive, so I may convert him into a gamer just to keep up with the boy.
I liked it back in “the day” when they couldn’t beat you at anything until they got bigger and then when they got big enough to beat you, you could use the gettin’ old excuse. Now they start beatin’ you right off.
The Holidays have had me a little out of touch but I do want to wish you a happy New Year and I look forward to your strip in 2010. (If I thought I would live this long I would have taken a lot better care of myself)
