I had hoped that the purchase of the Wii and its placement in the living room would mean that Brandy would engage in more video game activity. Turns out my hopes are being fulfilled as Brandy likes kicking my ass in Wii Sports Bowling. She consistently wins our bowling battles, usually pulling ahead in the final two frames.

I’ve been informed by others that there is a method to ensure consistent strikes, but I am choosing not to know this method in order to keep Bowling fun for both Brandy and me. If I start consistently winning, the joy will go out of playing for her. My humiliation is a small price to pay for gaming with my wife.
