Greetings and welcome to today's random thought.

Last night during the drive home an idea hit me.  First, some background: my son is constantly playing with legos but he would rather build something and then play with it while I would rather build, tear down and then rebuild.  Anyway, I had this idea for a Lego building and really could not wait for supper to get over so I could sit down and show this to the son.  I tried to explain the concept to him but i wasn't very clear I guess.  Anyway, here it is...

This took a few hours and I just finished the roof this afternoon after we got home from the soccer game.  The building was not the time consuming part, it was searching and sorting the right shape and size pieces.  There are many more yellow and white pieces in the shapes that I needed so there are a few solid rows at the bottom of the structure.  The roof had a few false starts (I should have built the roof first really and build downward).  Anyway, this week at work has been crazy and other than taking off at the normal time on Thursday (my 10 year wedding anniversary), I pretty much worked late each night.  So the kids were more than happy to help me dig out all the right pieces.

As I mentioned before, Thursday was my 10 year wedding anniversary.  I have never done anything for 10 years straight before so this was a big deal (I guess).  The wife and I had actually gone out to dinner the week before to celebrate so we did not do anything special.  Actually, we went to Chick-fil-A and had a very unhealthy dinner.

So, you have my excuse for not blogging this week.  I have been working a lot of extra hours with no end in sight.  It is what it is.  Until next time...

Thanks for reading my Random Thoughts.
