That's cool - I got a bundle pack from Meijer - the large Adventures river
set with the Aztec temple on it and a Ninja set. One of the Technic cars
that came with a CDROM. The Adventurer's glider from the Dino sets, and
several shell sets from a friend of mine. Gad. I feel silly not knowing the
proper set names/numbers but I'm almost off work and I'm too lazy to bother
looking them up. <G>
All in all, it was probably the best 'haul' of LEGO's I've gotten in a
single Christmas since I was a kid. I think my In Laws (who gave me the
Technic set) are finally realizing I'm not just buying them, but actually do
use them to build things.

Hmm.. looking at my schedule, I *might* be able to do Jan 21st, but then not
till Feb 18th again. We're having company and celebrating my wife's birthday
within the next 3-4 weeks. (Happy BD, BTW, Carolyn!)
Probably for logistics, I probably would be safest saying any time from Feb
18th on. Possibly Feb 11th, but it depends on when we celebrate Lynda's
birthday since it's mid week..
Anyone else? Is Jorge back from France or does anyone know when he was
supposed to be back?
