The big news around here is that we got another guitar controller for Guitar Hero. It arrived Monday, before the kids got home, so Mom and I could play a duet before it was ruined. Jack and Corwin had fun with it as well, although I couldn’t convince them to do a guitar battle. I did mock them because Mom and I got 5-star reviews on the song we played, which the boys then avoided to prevent any increase in the level of mocking.
As a special treat for Charles, I let him put stickers on the new (my!) guitar, except on the fret buttons because those just wear off in a few days of use.
It’s not all been happy, though. I found out the next evening that when I wasn’t immediately available, Mom was fine with helping Corwin in his co-operative career. I guess her addiction over came her spousal loyalty. Or it wasn’t quite the bonding experience for her that I had hoped. So, if any you have room on your couch, let me know…
