I've never been lost, I always know where I'm at if I'm awake. Right here.
May not know where other things are in relation but, hey, the sun rises in
the E. and sets in the W. everywhere; and I know how to read stars.

When it comes time to make complicated robots out of LEGO I'm often lost
and don't like to ask directions!

I'm often lost, that means you're doing the right things. Now the asking
directions, my tendency is to ask others but over the last 4+ decades I've
discovered the vast majority of people aren't any good at giving them.

I know this post wasn't directed to me, but I thought I'd respond anyway.

:)

Maybe someone will get me this book for Christmas.

I'd suggest finding it in a used bookstore. That's how I found mine. Paid
something like $15 for it. If you like I can certainly keep an eye out for
another copy. One of the nice things about living in Austin the plethora
of used bookstores we have because of UT and the other colleges.
