       So I've started playing with Lego againI found a $20 set of bricks at Barnes and NobleNo "kit" -- just a bunch of bricks, make whatever you wantIt turns out to be ... an oddly great way to take a break from my keyboard!An essay on it: https://clivethompson.medium.com/why-ive-started-playing-with-legos-19f21cf7069dFree friend link in case you don't subscribe to Medium: https://clivethompson.medium.com/why-ive-started-playing-with-legos-19f21cf7069d?sk=50fbfc913b727600fbfdab2cd6798bac

       @clive with 2 9yos we are in the throes of Lego world right now. It’s a blast.On a related tangent, I was looking at sets and noticed that one I bought two years ago for $20 is now “on sale” for $42!! This is becoming an expensive hobby

       @clive love this! I keep a stack of origami paper nearby for similar reasons. Folding has helped me through a number of blocks - you could say that finding keeps me from folding!
