Not really...
Perhaps it was true at the time, but he didn't really leave.
His collection is not the same as it was, but in one sense it became more
mature, more realistic.
And since he could never truly leave, maybe that's true for the rest of us -
Mark included.
Interesting topic there - who can truly leave once they've succombed to the
allure of LEGO as an adult?
Many are disillusioned - that's maturity
Many rethink it's place in their lives - that's perspective.
But who can leave?
