franken-brick

our latest trip to the lego store was something of a marathon session as i mentioned in an earlier post. and if you had to justify these by the number of individual bricks they gave out each time your minute for brick ratio might just seem a little disappointing. but hey, you can't quantify the love of the brick. and for my guys the loyalty runs deep.
this month's model featured the empathetic frankenstein monster. of all the classic movie monsters he is my favorite. and certainly i can not think of a finer analogy than lego as i watched scores of young dr. frankensteins stand in line, and then welcomed into the lab, begin assembling their promethean creations. their assistants, the staff of the lego store handing each mad scientist their bucket of body parts. the spark of life, each child's imagination. and as we walked out with a small army of monsters in our little hands, i considered the many others loosed throughout the area. silently sitting on shelves or broken apart only to be put back together as part of another creation, it is not for me to question. it is the will of the creator.
