Subject heading was on the front page of Columbus' The Other Paper, on page 7, a
profile about me and my hobby (obsession?).

In press yesterday, on line since this morning:

The best thing is they didn't use a 110 bold font caption "LEGOS", like the last
article in the Columbus Dispatch...

Generally, they got most if it right, but some misquotes..I am an assistant
professor for one, second, my NL wife threatened leave me if I'd QUIT my job,
not if'd lose it :)

Well, non-Lego wife is not true, she did build some things, like this house:

Luckily, there are many ways to get fired... (honey, if you ready this, i'm
kidding).

(...) Good stuff Paul. I like how you're quoted in your dislike of the term LEGOs and then they quote your wife saying "LEGOs"...LOL! jt (20 years ago, 25-Mar-05, to lugnet.mediawatch)
