weekend of LEGO

twenty-seven years and one million words

I spent the weekend playing with LEGO with my son. It was one of those weeks, with a couple of health issues in the family, where I wanted to re-affirm our gratitude to the young fellow for his support and patience. We made a kind of home/lab thing where the walls fold out to let you access all the bits inside. We got the idea from a "The Lego Adventure Book".

rand()m quote

It has always seemed strange to me...The things we admire in men, kindness and generosity, openness, honesty, understanding and feeling, are the concomitants of failure in our system. And those traits we detest, sharpness, greed, acquisitiveness, meanness, egotism and self-interest, are the traits of success. And while men admire the quality of the first they love the produce of the second.

—John Steinbeck, Cannery Row
