She has always been health-conscious, whereas Dad has not. He's not overweight, has always been spry and was pretty healthy until this. Of course, good genes help Mom, whose 100-year-old mother has no major health problems, either.

Question: I'd like to know if wireless speakers are a good option for a surround-sound system these days. I suspect the technology isn't there yet based on other articles I've read, but I thought I'd ask. Having the living room hard-wired seems likely to cost more money than I want to shell out given our hardwood floors, but for proper home-theater sound you seem to need speakers in 5 different locations. We currently have a four-speaker system with two speakers "stacked" on either side of the entertainment system, but obviously this isn't ideal.
