Famous Hands and Big Summer Plans
When thinking of the most famous hands of all time, what comes to mind? Perhaps the hands of Michelangelo as seen in his masterpiece 'David.' Maybe it's the Queen of England with her royal wave. Or more likely, Hamburger Helper with his curious grin and optimistic 'cook your own damn food' attitude :)
Well, after many months of training in the off season, my hands have finally been discovered as the next Scandinavia's Top Model--Hand Edition. Ok, not really, but they are now up on the LEGO website in a series of new web tips that launched just a few days ago! You can find them at http://creator.lego.com/en-us/buildingt

I also just found out last week that I will be included in a new book that's coming out later next month called "50 years of the LEGO brick." I saw a preliminary copy and have to say it looks pretty sweet. They've really gone all out with the book by including special inserts throughout including copies of the original patent as well as other nostalgic goodies. The German version is already available through the publisher at:

Wow, that's one-crazy-long link up there!
In other news, I will be acting as the MC for on one of the two LEGO Inside Tours this June. It makes me smile to think back just a few years when I would have sold my left kidney just to go on the tour!! And now...how strange how things come around.
I'll also be heading to BrickWorld in Chicago for the 19th to the 22nd of June. I'm planning on giving one of the 50 minute presentations, so feel free to let me know if there's any particular topic you think I should talk about.
Then after BrickWorld, I'll be headed to the East Coast where I will try to help promote my brother's new chiropractic office. I'm still trying to think of how I can tie LEGO into chiropractic health, but I'm sure I can figure it out :) I'll also be giving away some very cool goodies that will hopefully bring in families from all over the Merrimack Valley.
I'm sooooooo looking forward to visiting the family this summer. My nieces and nephews are too much fun to be so far away from. Plus I miss my brothers and sister and Mom & Dad terribly. We've been working pretty hard over here to meet some ambitious deadlines, so a few weeks state-side should really do me some good! :)
