Daily Column

DEAR DR. GOTT:
Your recent column about the Nintendo Wii was great.

I was born in 1927 and now live in a nursing home. When I was younger I used to bowl quite frequently. Because it is not as easy as it used to be, I now Wii-Bowl. It is really fun and can be enjoyed by people of all ages and fitness levels. My nursing home friends and I play together on a regular basis.

As James Brown would say, “I feel good” and plan on staying that way for a long time.

DEAR READER:
When I wrote that letter, I assumed it would only strike a cord with the under 35 set. When I received your letter, I knew I had to print it. It shows that the older and younger generations may have something in common after all. Thanks for writing and sharing your experience with this gaming system. I hope other seniors will consider this an option for keeping active physically, mentally and socially.
