anyway.

thanks Vincent!
you've renewed my interest in the little plastic blocks.  http://shop.lego.com/ByAge/Product.aspx?p=10124&cn=100007&d=100001
and so has that.
LEGO's seem to be kinda reasonabley priced, am i crazy to think that?  for the hours of hopeful enjoyment, it really doesn't seem all too bad.
now if i can just find my old tackle box full of 'em.  man, i used to freak out at the pieces not coming apart as easily as i thought they should.  a perfectionist back then too.  i always had trouble getting those little bricks apart, nail biting has limited my tools.  i used to bite into the bricks to try and pry them apart.  now they have a little plastic tool for such things.  what progress!
sorry i had problems linking the web address, i'm far from computer savy.

No prob, linked.

I think Legos are kinda reasonably priced too.

Woohoo!  Afraid!  I'm really looking forward to this one.

Nathan, there's a brick separating tool now. I don't use it often, but I use it anytime I'm about to put toothmarks in a brick.

Afraid ranks high on the N.E.A.T.O. scale.

Heh. I wish it ranked higher on the "all written" scale.
