Games

Since Christmas, I have been into more games at one time than ever before. Guitar Hero (rock!) for the PS2, Super Mario Galaxy on the Wii (as well as a fun fishing game), and The Phantom Hourglass on the DS. This is in addition to the games on the computer. Oldest keeps pestering me to finish Knights of the Old Republic so I can move on to the second one.

And there is the big difference in my old age. When I was younger, I was all about completion. Got to get all the side-quests, the best stuff, etc. Wouldn't quit until I had it all. Now it is all about having fun. I still try to get the stuff, but now I will let a game slide for a week or more before I come back to it. Maybe I am more comfortable about myself, and don't need to prove anything by perfecting a game, or maybe I am losing concentration and therefore more willing to abandon a game mid-way, or lose interest.

Nice and tight/sore today from yesterday at the Y. Nice feeling to have the ache of a good workout, but then we had some massive storms (up north this would have been a thaw, with 70 degree days in January) as a cold front pushed through. Now it is back to seasonable temperatures, and a few places had hail and tornadoes. Not looking forward to seeing one of those, especially since this is not like you see on StormChasers, with a single cell spawning a picturesque funnel, but it would be a huge mess of clouds and rain and you wouldn't know there was a tornado until you were meeting your maker.
