Except me. I suck. Really. Ask anybody. Why do you think I stick with building LEGO web sites instead of LEGO MOCs?

(I see Steve Barile’s fingers itching to reply. Bring it on!)

Well, I’m not Mr. Barile, but I play him on TV...

If that’s true, Kelly (and I sorta doubt it is), then you show the perfect example of being able to do amazing things for the community and not be a great builder.

OK, perhaps not “suck” at MOCs, but I’m definitely not anywhere near the same league as the big boys and girls around here. Nosebleed section, that’s me. I do find it interesting that I like building things about things that you use to build with. I just need to finish stuff, that’s my problem.

But my 10-year-old son is definitely more creative with the bricks than his old man, boy howdy.

Kelly, ya never know when the Lego Ambassadors will need a website... ;)
