On the topic of *LEGO bricks...
From age 6 to 11 I spent most of my time building the most basic of LEGO buildings and cars. I learned a ton about basic construction; how to cross the lines, how to motorize models. In engineering speak, to move from statics to dynamics, and last but not least how to want more bricks. Or should I say, "NEED" more bricks. I didn't know then what I know now, I am an addict; a LEGO addict. It plays on both the desire to build really cool stuff (and show it off) and the collector in me. "I just need those two sets to complete..."
Introduce the Pacific Northwest LEGO Train Club
(PNLTC).
Now I'm in my mid thirties and my wife wonders when I will have enough LEGOs. She says
that when I determine the value of things based on how many bricks I can buy, I crossed
the line; a very different line. It all started when I discovered LEGO trains at the local
hobby shop...
Now that I determine where my money gets spent (after asking my wife's permission as opposed to my mother's) I forked over the $150 for the 2 ½ priced LEGO train sets. (a few months pass) I am now a founding member of the PNLTC and there are about 4 other LEGO train clubs popping up around the country (power in numbers). Truly we are all crazed but all in all my wife rather me hang around the house building LEGO trains then hangin' at the pubs watching Monday Night football.
