The Cox Chronicle

I finally got a Wii. I just happened to be in Best Buy the other day to look for some speakers for my patio. And I figured I would look at the video game section to see if they had any Wii’s in stock. Now… for the last few months I would go into a store already knowing that they did not have any and I would ask the clerk (I don’t call them sales people because they really aren’t!) if they had any Wii’s. The clerk would inevitably tell me they don’t have any. I would then just continue about my business.

This time… as I walked into the Wii aisle the clerk looks at me and says “Do you want a Wii?” I was shocked! You have them? I said. Just as I said that about seven or eight people stood behind me as if I was the first person in line. Wouldn’t you know it, I was the first person in line. The clerk had just put them out! I also noticed there were only six Wii’s in the cage and the line behind me was getting longer.

I was shocked and did not know what to do. I was like a deer caught in the headlights. I got so used to them not having one, I did not expect to have to actually make the decision whether I really wanted one or not. So I get on the phone and called home. Laura says sure get it. So I did.

The thing is a blast. We had to get up early the next morning to take Christopher to daycare and the cat to the vet. But Laura and I stayed up until about 2:00 in the morning playing.

Good Times. I can finally Wii…
