Wii Wii Wii, All the Way Home

No, that's not the name of the article, but I sure did have a fun time thinking of different ways to phrase it. hahaha. In the Wii Small hours?? hahahaha. Ok. I must be tired.
But here is the accompanying article, soon to be printed in the Westville Weekly Times:

"Wii Play, Do You?"

The John F. Henderson Library is once again showing its penchant for technology with the arrival of its newest addition, a Nintendo Wii (pronounced ‘wee’). For those of you who are intimidated by these new-fangled inventions, just think of it as a really safe way to do sports. Westville teens have already had a chance to break it in during their Wii Bowling Tournament. All you do is watch the tv, hold the controller (there are two buttons) and pretend like you’re really bowling. You don’t have to worry about dropping the ball and you don’t have to wear the swell shoes they make you wear at the bowling alley.
If bowling is not quite your cup of tea, there are plenty of other choices. The library has an entire sports collection including boxing, tennis, baseball and golf. Other games available are billiards, fishing, shooting range, tanks, table tennis and hockey. Where else can you simulate serious contact sports without sweating or a trip to the emergency room? The library will be offering these games as a service in the upcoming weeks, including the much coveted Wii Fit. Who knew you could exercise to a video game?
Everyone is invited to a special introduction to the Wii at the next Friends of the John F. Henderson Public Library meeting on Monday, August 25 at 5:00pm at the library, complete with snacks and endless opportunities for laughter.
If you’re too self conscious to play, at least come and watch everyone else do it. Or you can come try it while the kids are in school. It always helps when there’s not a ten year old playing after you who makes your highest score look like minimum wage. Bring your friends, your parents, even your grandparents. Come and see what all the excitement is about! Wii play, do YOU?
