Wii Nation

The Nintendo Wii is bringing joy to senior citizens everywhere. According to the associated press, retirement centers from Chicago to Virginia have become part of the Wii craze. Ruth Ebert, 82, is a resident of the Greenspring Retirement Community in Springfield, Virginia and loves playing Wii Tennis. Ruth even volunteered her one-bedroom apartment as a place to store the Wii since she owns a big screenTV- gotta love her.

In Chicago, Flora Dierbach, 72, a chairperson for the entertainment committee at her retirement community, arranged a Wii bowling tournament. Other residents including 81 year old grandfather Sim Taylor, long time bowler, now add video games to their list of hobbies, very smooth. From girls to boys, children to grandparents, the Nintendo Wii is just good fun, no joke.
