Legos!

After thinking of the old commercials yesterday, coincidentally Gizmodo's blog has a retro theme going right now - and tonight they had posted the exact lego spaceship I got in 1979! Had to post some pics of it. I was so-excited to get it back then, in fact I think I still have it in the back room somewhere. Legos were great fun and inspired creativity. Of course there were some frustrations like the "popper-penguins"(legos that dont want to stay connected), or when you just cant find that last piece to complete your project. Also my friend and me would build lego forts, and throw lego bombs at each other until one person destroyed the others fort (you werent allowed to repair during battle). It created quite a mess in the room, which would have to be swept under the bed before my mom saw it. ;-). Anyhow, I'm off to build the ship again if I can find it!
