Star Struck
I start the day with a latte and a heaping side of celebrity gossip. I consider Hollywood magazines required reading, and my DVR runneth over with reality TV. Check with me to hear stories about A-listers who love LEGO. I mean really, who doesn’t?
Gen Xer
Now it’s iTunes, TIVO, and gadgets galore. Then it was Thriller on MTV, Goonies, Ghostbusters and of course the singular masterpiece, Star Wars on the big screen and PacMan all over my “state-of-the-art” Atari system. I was a kid of the 70s and 80s who loved building with LEGO bricks. Too bad my parents sold all of my original LEGO sets, the Commodore 64 and our first Apple II computer when I left for college or I could be banking some serious reserves from eBay to buy that 52” LCD HDTV. I love that it’s cool again to play with “the brick” and I can’t believe what some people are doing for fun and on the job with these little plastic building blocks.

Homebody
My favorite childhood memory is piecing together houses out of LEGO bricks with my brother and then convincing our mom to walk us to our friend’s house so we could add them to the LEGO city in his garage. Check out my blog to see how kids are playing with LEGO now-a-days or for activities to help families incorporate LEGO into their lives.
