"Geezer" doesn't sound so bad when you consider that 20 years ago today I was
playing with some classic space Lego sets: a handful of 442 Space Shuttles, a
coupla 462 Rocket Launchers, two 487 Space Cruisers, and a 493 Space Command
Center(1) in a room devoid of furniture temporarily decorated to look like an
ice planet with a friend who had roughly the same amount of Lego bricks as
myself.
