Feliz Cumpleanos!

I just celebrated another year of life. It is always fun to celebrate. I remember being a little kid and the stuff I got was awesome. One year when I turned 3 or 4 my gift was a set of otter pops! You can't beat that for a little kid. I already told you about my Tonka turck. I have also got the usual stuffed animals, cheesy party toys, and the like. Sometimes a birthday gift can change your life though.

One year, and I should mention here that every year thereafter, I received a Lego set. It was for a plane. Thinking back I always built planes. Starting with my first bucket o' bricks I built a simple design using just  5 2x4 bricks for a regular or 7 for a fighter jet. You're probably thinking, "big deal," but actually it was foreshadowing. Today I still build planes and they're flown all over the world... oh, and they're not made of Lego (which doesn't mean that I don't still use Lego to build all sorts of marvelous things! Cuz I do!).
