Aha!
At least the comment is about time spent as opposed to money spent ;)
My wife is pretty cool about the whole Lego thing - it's quite a bit cheaper
than my previous "habit".
Where I get in real trouble is at work - there are quite a few people there
who simply don't "understand". And the sad thing about that, from my point
of view, is that they all seem to have one thing in common - they've got no
imagination left. Maybe retaining an avid interest in something which was
originally designed to promote creativity and imagination in kids can still
work on adult minds if only they'll let it!
