After months of waiting, we finally got our hands (and feet) on the Wii Fit balance board! Though originally conceptualized as little more than a bathroom scale, it also does a surprisingly good job at tracking your center of gravity, allowing a myriad of activities like yoga, hula hoops, and skiing. In fact, although my weight is in the normal range, my calculated “Wii Fit Age” was higher than my chronological one – likely resulting from my proficiency as a couch potato. Fortunately, the toy has gotten us both on a regular exercise regimen, at least for the first 3 days out of the box. I just hope it won’t become one of those weight-loss fads we’ll forget about in a month. Since this is my last golden weekend before my MICU month, we also returned for the Boston summer tradition of Shakespeare on the Common, with an entertaining and well-acted rendition of “As You Like It.” This year, we showed up early enough to grab dinner in Chinatown and even enjoyed a game of Scrabble and Killer Bunnies on the lawn before the show began.
