Micah 6:8
Genesis 11:4-5
Yes, your life matters.
We all are still sheltering in place, but I'm here to keep you sane and entertained.
One could hardly ask for much more than that, now could one?
Today I came across a fun fact - Frank Lloyd Wright's son, John Lloyd Wright, was the creator of Lincoln Logs. Well, apparently building and architecture really did run in that family.
The main story that comes to mind for me regarding Lincoln Logs was when Christian was pretty young and Heidi and I had gone out for the evening. One of his favorite sitters was Ian, and when we got home (well after Christian had gone to bed), Ian told us to be careful about the big fort they had built in the living room out of Lincoln Logs because Christian wanted to show it to us in the morning.
Well, we weren't as careful as we ought to have been, as a wall came tumbling down and we spent far longer trying to figure out how it had been built - just what went where - than we really wanted to.
At any rate, we did manage to get it back together, and Christian may be finding out for the first time that we had semi-destroyed and then rebuilt his work.
Good times.
In unrelated news, today is National Saxophone Day, commemorating the creation of Belgian musician, Adolphe Sax. Coming in many sizes - soprano, alto, tenor, baritone, bass and several more at each end of the spectrum - the saxophone is found in many different kinds of music, from classical to pop to jazz. Here's a video celebration of the saxophone for your viewing pleasure.
Keep Calm and Stay Away.
I'll be back tomorrow.
