It looks like everyone else got one, but Santa didn’t leave a Wii under our Christmas tree.
Nor is the tight fisted Git ever likely to.

If I could lay my hands on the work-shy old codger I’d punch him in the beard and shave a four letter word into Rudolf’s fur.
Fair’s fair though, I didn’t actually ask Santa for a Wii but I’m busting for one now.
Trouble is, my wife has an aversion to such things and I can understand why – they’re such a time waster.
Acknowledging that fact doesn’t really help me because I’d still like to have a Wii in every room of the house.
I guess I’m destined only to play with someone else’s Wii until my wife kicks me out of the marital home and I’m all alone in my dingy God forsaken stank hole of a bedsit with nothing else to do other than play with myWii.
Ah, when I look at it that way…. I’ll gladly go without a Wii every single Christmas.
It’s not the only sacrifice I’ve made for my family – generous soul that I am….
I’ve been offline for a whole week.
It’s been brilliant!
I’ve spent the time performing a very good approximation of a decent husband and father.
And although I say so myself, I haven’t done a bad job.
My absence from my digital life was quite deliberate.
I had every intention of abandoning my pursuit of future glories in favour of spending time with the people I love, and it was worth it.
My home has been a sea of smiling faces and cordial conversation – apart from brief moments of frustration and temper brought on by overly complicated toys.
I’ve already transformed one Transformer into a pile of spare parts, and I have no remorse. I’ve even named him in true Transformer style. He’s called ‘Junk Yard‘. Hahahaha.
I laughed long and hard about that, but my boys assured me it was the least funny thing they’d ever heard.
My genius is wasted on them.
Anyway, it feels like I’ve had a holiday.
I feel refreshed and invigorated.
I feel ready to tackle the New Year.
Thank you for sticking with me during 2008.
You’ve been very supportive and great fun!
I wish you all the very best for 2009.
Dave
