The misadventures of Commander Merlin and the crew of RV-103
Saturday July 31st 2010

A Fantastic, Unimportant Announcement!

As I said in earlier posts, California has had quite a lot of rain lately.  Though we had a week of sunshine recently, we are back into the rain again nearly every day.  I understand that California has had a drought for the last three years, but it is not good luck for us that nature has decided the drought needed to end during our visit.

Anyway, what do you do when it rains every day?  Watch movies, read books, work on our research, but after awhile that gets old.  We needed something else to “stimulate” our intellect.  Thank goodness for Wii!

The last two months we have been playing Super Mario on our Wii game system and I am proud to anounce that last night, we finished the last level and conquered Bowser in his castle.  There was great celebration throughout RV-103 and even Commander Merlin joined in doing cartwheels down the hall.

Gypsy, aka Luigi, and I (Mario) went through a few thousand lives before this momentous occasion, but it was worth it.  The great Bowser is defeated and the princess is free!  Now I can use the Wii to kill zombies…woohoo!

Update:  Gypsy has informed me that the zombies may have to wait while we set up our exercise routine on our Wii fitness board.  I appealed to Commander Merlin but she says she expects her crew to be physically fit and in tip top shape.

Sigh…
