Today is International LEGO Day. This marvelous toy was patented in 1958 and has always been my son's favorite toy. Although when he was five, he was quite fond of his fireman action figure. My son has amassed quite a huge collection of Legos over the years. I know because I was the one who packed them up whenever we moved. Some years ago, when I was in real estate, I had the opportunity to show a buyer a house that my family had lived in a few years before. It was interesting to see the changes, not many. As I was showing the room that had been my son's bedroom, I happened to glance down into the window well, and between the window and the screen I spied one lonely red Lego and knew, no doubt, that it was one of my son's. I told him about it when I got home that evening, he was a teenager by then, and his immediate response was "Did you get it for me?"
