(sigh)

After a month at the repair shop (meaning Microsoft), the X-Box is back and fully functional... and the 8-year-old is back into his element. This is sort of a test for us here, since his behavior has been so markedly better since the game has been gone. Will his temper and frustration levels return, now that it is back? Or will the new medication he's been taking show us that the problem wasn't his games, but his meds?

As for me, I played a bit last night after work, and had a rather lack-luster performance in three Domination matches... my best K/D ratio being only 9 and 27. Most of that is lack of practice... but at least one of those matches I was up against the varsity team (undoubtedly all under the age of 12) that really showed just what Domination means in COD:BO.

Its cold and wet here today, so there won't be much outdoor distraction for Jake. I'm planning on hunkering down and supporting his campaign of slaughter and mayhem in the face of hordes of Nazi zombies.
