The blocks I didn’t play with as a child
Back in the middle ages when I was a young child, this is before television, and in many parts of the country a non party line phone was a luxury. In fact, there were still towns that had no electricity! I don’t remember much of being a toddler, probably some kind of mind block, but I do have memories of going around to Gerard’s, to look at, LOOK at, his new wooden blocks. I could have been about five, and we had strict instructions from mom that under no circumstances were we to play with any other child’s toys.

So, we’ve let the site lapse, with Neil’s permission, and instead of letting the domain name again become available for anyone to register, we’ve taken it over ourselves and have turned it into this WordPress blog. Neil Sparg is … Read entire article »
