    Yeah, same situation. I think we've finally worked out the "moodiness" with the games. Used to be that if he was told no, he'd get a little attitude. If we told him to turn it off, we'd get some attitude/delay. That garbage was resolved relatively quick and only occasionally shows up. 

    Now I just want him to get to where he realizes that they are fun, but as mentioned above, they are junk food for the brain. Have some, sure, but learn to turn it off and understand it's not life.

    I'm not anti video game. I'm anti being obsessed with them. 

    Same age and situation as you and SydneyCarton. Unfortunately my kid's mother let's him play all the time, which makes it tough for me on the weeks I have him. I try to take my son to the park or outside as much as I can. He wants to go to the music store after school today and I'm very happy to get him something unrelated to video games.  He's obsessed with Zelda, but I get the sense he'll move on if we can find another activity that piques his interest. I think "obsession" with kids can be harnessed into something great as long as they have plenty of different things that make them curious and they want to learn more about. 

    Also looking forward to him eventually getting into watching sports. I feel like we're close age-wise. I leave ESPN or Rockets replay on in the morning when he's eating breakfast and he's starting to watch.

  2. I've felt like Wisner has flashed every time he's in the game, whether it's on ST or late game carries. Love the toughness he's shown, and I get the feeling he would excel with more touches. We are so deep at RB, but I really hope we find a way to get him the ball. If the transferred to a smaller school, I bet he'd light it up.  It seems like the coaches love him, whether it's Choice or Sark bringing him up.

  3. The LCD Soundsystem show in Guadalajara was incredible. Had not seen them live before, and it's such a completely different experience than listening to the records.  Felt like we were at a house party.

    That's awesome!  I don't think I've ever made more than $100.

    I think $100 might be my largest cut as well, haha. Most of our band is pleasantly surprised when money comes our way. We're perfectly happy with the free bar tab.
