I have only had about 10-15 minutes with Wii Sports, but hopefully the kids will let me get some time in later this week.<\/p>\n<p>My oldest got a crimson and black Nintendo DS Lite (with Zelda Phantom Hourglass) and my second born son got a polar white (or whatever that color is called) DS with New Super Mario Brothers.  The crimson and black DS Lite was a nice upgrade over the larger DS; my middle child went crazy over his DS because it is a huge upgrade over his hand-me-down GBA.  He loves Mario, so I think he is in heaven.  Playing the DS is about all he wanted to do the last couple of days.<\/p>\n<p>No games for me this year.  I just have not been in a video game mood, or grove, or whatever.  I usually do not have time to play, and lately when I do, I have been spending time outdoors plinking with my airgun.  Besides, the Wii was really a family present, so I can always give that a go if I get a jones for something new.<\/p>\n<p>WoW is still fun, but is it worth $15 per month?  I certainly do not get my money\u2019s worth, but it still has that \u201cfive more minutes to see what is next\u201d feeling to it.<\/p>\n<p>Christmas Eve I got a replacement Pirates of the Caribbean Blu-ray from Disney.  That is great customer service (see previous Pirates\/Disney article for background info).<\/p>\n<p>Crosman customer service contacted me today to say that I could return my Sierra Pro for repair (or replacement).  The gun is working now, but because it did have problems, I think I am going to send it in for repairs.<\/p>\n<p>My wife let me order a Beeman R7 from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.pyramydair.com\" onclick=\"__gaTracker('send', 'event', 'outbound-article', 'http:\/\/www.pyramydair.com', 'Pyramyd Air');\" target=\"new\">Pyramyd Air<\/a> for my Christmas present.  The damage report on the order:  the R7, 1\u2033 B-Square (25020) see-thru high rings, and a 6\u00d732 mini AO Bug Buster 2 scope.  As part of the standard \u201corder 3 tins, get 1 free\u201d I picked up three new types of new pellets to feed the R7:  Beeman Trophy Lightweight Round Nose (7.88 gr), Beeman Silver Bear hi-impact (7.1 gr), and Beeman Silver Sting Pointed (8.61 gr).  I also got a tin of Beeman Crow-Magnum pellets (8.80 gr), but I already have some of those, so they were not really new.<\/p>\n<p>I will write more about the gun later.<\/p>\n<p>We get Texas and the Holiday Bowl tomorrow.  Finally; about time real Bowls started.<\/p>\n<p>All for now.<\/p>\n<div class=\"addtoany_share_save_container addtoany_content_bottom\"><div class=\"a2a_kit a2a_kit_size_ addtoany_list a2a_target\" id=\"wpa2a_1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.addtoany.com\/share\" onclick=\"__gaTracker('send', 'event', 'outbound-article', 'https:\/\/www.addtoany.com\/share', '');\" class=\"a2a_dd addtoany_share_save\"><img src=\"http:\/\/www.calvertgames.com\/cgblog\/wp-content\/plugins\/add-to-any\/share_save_171_16.png\" width=\"171\" height=\"16\" alt=\"Share\"\/><\/a>\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\"><!--\nif(wpa2a)wpa2a.script_load();\n\/\/--><\/script>\n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>More random goodness to get you through the week; you know you need this stuff.
