Design Your Own LEGO Kit!!!

This looks awesome! Where was this when I was 8 years old!?!?! It’s funny, just last night, I dumped out the LEGOs with Gabe and Ethan, searching franticly for the LEGO “Spider-Man” head, discovering that the arm to the LEGO Yoda has been removed so many times it will no longer stay intact, joyous celebration at the rediscovering of “evil” Anakin with light-up lightsaber, ahhh the hours spent pawing through the pile that filled their bedroom floor. One (their mother) might suggest that they have all the LEGOs they will ever need, I on the other hand, am convinced you can never have too many.

Brad Paisley - Time Well Wasted

Brad still plays a mean guitar and writes some great tunes. But two duets, including a collaboration with Alan Jackson on “Out in the Parkin’ Lot,” and Dolly Parton on “When I Get Where I’m Going” never really caught my attention. Other guest appearances by Bill Anderson, Little Jimmy Dickens, George Jones and Elvis Presley’s former guitarist, James Burton didn’t really do much for me either. On the other hand, his sense of humor on songs like “Alcohol” and funny storytelling on songs like “Waitin’ on a Woman” is always entertaining.

Sittin’ on a bench at West Town Mall
He sat down in his overalls and asked me
You waitin’ on a woman
I nodded yeah and said how ’bout you
He said son since nineteen fifty-two I’ve been
Waitin’ on a woman

My first reaction is… not as good as his other CDs, but it’s growing on me.
