There were off-topic bits? I just remember talking LEGO all the time...

The layout just gets better with every show. We still need a name though--train
6 just doens't cut it.

I waited until I thought you got home 'cause I thought it'd be unfair whilst you
were on the road. So, again, I was a little premature (and she says 'I can't
believe he mentioned that right here on LUGNET!!) :p

That's John. We're slowly corupting him.

As we told the kids incessantly--it's LEGO--you can put it back together.

Yeah, pretty much had a great time this weekend, even though I was so totally
out of it due to illness. But we made it virtually unscathed and we have a few
more 'train'ees for the next layout :)
Oh, not that I really care and no sympathy needed, but fever of 101 this
morning, woke up with a lung in my hands at 4ish, and took the day off work. So
if I said or did anything this weekend that rubbed folks the wrong way--like if
I rubbed Derek's leg or something --oh right, that wasn't me--then I'll blame it
on being sick.

still has the sniffles... but might grace Laidlaw tomorow...
