On that sad note, I must announce that I too have peaked at the young age of 28. Yes, my friends, I have reached the top of the mountain, and it is all downhill from here.
I have scored a 20 on my Wii Age.

On Peaking Early
Sometimes I think about child prodigies and their doomed futures. They accomplish such incredible feats so early, that many of them have little more to ever look forward to. It's probably a pessimistic way to look at life, but will that 12 year-old gymnast really ever again achieve the same rush of excitement from perfectly landing a gold-medal winning vault? Will that piano prodigy ever receive another applause quite as thunderous and adoring? Will Jaleel White ever find another acting role as deep, vibrant and life-affirming as Steve Urkel? Unfortunately, in almost all of these circumstances, the answer is no. Sometimes Steve Urkel is as high as you can go.

You guys always have the greatest posts...in fact, I'd almost say I feel a slight sense of competition when I think about posting on our own blog. Needless to say, Ben you're hilarious. Congrats on your wii...that's huge. We miss you guys!!!!
Quit now while you're ahead.
Is there a Wii retirement game? That would be a hit. You sit on your wii porch on your wii rocking chair and drink your wii lemonade. Then you go to bed at 7:00.
