Disneyland Adventures

August 29, 2011

When I turned 40 I bought myself a Wii.  The intention was for it to me a motivator for exercise and family interaction.  Then we lost the living room (don’t ask) and I didn’t play for a very long time. Recently with the return of the living room (I already told you not to ask) [...]
