So, I have good news and bad news. First off, the good news: Bert and Toni were able to secure a second Wii after camping out last night, and they were gracious enough to sell it to me. And now the bad news: I don’t have any time for about a week to even unbox it and hook it up to play 
How sad is that? I have my first ever console acquired on launch day, and I can’t even use it for a week. Anyways, a big thanks to Bert and Toni for getting it for me, and another big thanks to Scott and Rich for transporting it from the Johnson residence to mine while I was out for my Mom’s birthday.
Oh, before I forget, and since Chris will recount this story an untold number of times, I was pretty damned excited about the offer from Bert this morning. I was sitting at my desk when I checked my voicemail. Then I burst out of my office and jumping up and down asking Chris if we could get a Wii. Then, when I called Bert back to tell him that I would greatly appreciate the Wii, I was all calm like the night. When I got off the phone, I was all smiles again.
YAY. I’m coming over tomorrow to crack that BEAOOOTTCHHH OPEN.
miss you guys (and everyone that reads this on the daily too)

Dude, I haven’t wanted to play any kind of video game thingy in a long time and I was actually thinking about a Wii. One of my students worked on developing it, he did that and the X-Box360, and he was like, “Wii is so much better.” Of course, this was in incredibly broken English, but I got the gist of it.
Hehehe, I can totally see that happening.
