Tonight Irene and I went to Target and bought a brand new flat screen television and a Nintendo Wii. This cost over $700, but in the end we decided we had tired of not having a television. We had been looking for a Wii since Christmas, but there has been a national shortage and we could not find one anywhere. When we went to get the television we discovered that Target had a couple of Wii’s so we got one immediately.

The reason for buying the television is that the person who is repairing our other TV is ill and it could be some time before we get it back. So we finally caved in and bought the new TV and the Wii. From what I have seen so far, I am very impressed with the TV. The picture is much sharper and clearer than on the Samsung. Irene played a little bit of the Wii and it looks like a lot of fun. Irene says that playing the Wii sports game actually does give you a workout, so I am looking forward to trying it out for myself very soon.
