lego-mania

We just got back from an impromptu trip to the toy store (oh, and a whole bunch of other places too, but really, what else matters?). So now, not only is the floor behind my chair strewn with Lego creations awaiting the big Daddy Vs. Son Lego Battle tomorrow morning, but the table also the site of much Lego-mania. Both "boys" (one age 7, the other 33) got new kits tonight. T got one with his hero and alter ego, Darth Vader. They're discussing how they're going to destroy each other in the battle tomorrow. I think half the reason T wanted a son first (which he got) was so that he would have less time to wait before he'd have an excuse to play with Legos. And we haven't even made the trip up to his mother's yet, to get the much-discussed ICE CHEST FULL OF LEGOS which was T's when he was a boy (we did, however, get about a bushel of them -- that's a small laundry basket worth, people -- at a flea market last summer for $3. Yes, $3. T gloated about that one for at least a month). I foresee a thousand-mile-each-way trip in our near future.
