There’s a short list of things that have made me cry. LEGO’s are on that list. Arranged chronologically, it’s somewhere before my first experience with Microsoft Word 6.0 (circa 1995) and maybe a year after that time my balloon flew away. As a sidenote, I have never known how to pluralize this product, so bear with me. Anyway, like most people, Legoes are as close as I will ever get to building an Imperial Star Destroyer, and for that, I say thank you Denmark for your finest export. Here’s to 50 more years of instructions with confusing perspectives and so many pieces that I find it doubtful, at best, that I was the only kid brought to tears.

50 years is the gold anniversary. I don’t have any gold, so the color of this text will have to do. Happy Anniversary. If we both make it to your century mark, maybe I can do a little better.
