Sorry, the Wii U will not play Blu-Rays or DVDs. That was announced a while back.

It's using some sort of Blu-Ray technology. They just aren't paying to have the right for video playback, that's all. It costs extra for them to allow it. That's the only reason the Wii didn't play DVDs.

I don't know, I could just never get into grilling in the winter time. My grill is now put away. I'll use it again in the March/April timeframe.

Now I focus on making casseroles, chilis, stew type dishes.

It was a beautiful fall day here yesterday. Had to take advantage before it gets too cold although I do leave the grill out year round. It's right by my side door, so it works out pretty good.

Love grilling in the Fall and Winter, even more so than in the Summer. Same goes with smoking cigars. At the same time, I also enjoy 20 degree weather as it reminds me of being in Chicago so that's part of the equation.

I was looking at a lot of throwaways last night and saw one that wasn't half bad:

No, I sit in my room and marvel at how stupid I am and how awesome of a collection I would have had, had I not sold anything.
