State of Fear ...

Michael Crichton has written another suspenseful thriller with State of Fear. The story centers around global warming and how there is one group trying to dispel it as a myth and another group trying to start catastrophes. I read this a couple of years ago on a plane and I was glued to my seat. 

Well, you really can’t get up and go anywhere on a plane anyway, but I was glad to be entertained at least. This book also lays claim to one of the most disturbing images I think I have ever read. Other than that the book was classic Crichton. The unlikely male hero who is called upon to do impossible things but just possesses the exact knowledge needed to survive. And the estranged woman in his life. Yep, this was a very entertaining book, had many interesting theories which Crichton books always tend to have. I’d give it another read.

Review: Lumibricks Izakaya Building ...

The folks from Lumibricks sent me their latest building set, the Izakaya for free to build and review. Opinions are 100% my own. I've built a few sets from Lumibricks (formerly FunWhole) in the past and they are really fun and interesting. The photo above is of the Izakaya and also The Apartment. they are both part of a Cyberpunk theme called Neoncity. At this time there are also two additional buildings that you can build and add to this whole theme, the Game Stack and the Floating Train Station. The great things about these sets is that they light up. As you build you are also adding lights and wires and ways to illuminate the amazing build. Once you're done building you fire up some power and the lights blaze up. With Neoncity sets you get some incredible Nenon effects light signs and even neon tube lights. That is one of the coolest things about these sets is how the lights are incorporated into the build. Some very innovative bricks were made in order to thread the wiring...

2025 Family Ornament ...

Photo-A-Day 2.0 #02515 We put our tree up the other day and I had already bought the 2025 Hallmark Keepsake ornament for our yearly family photo ornament. I love these ornaments on the tree. We have them from 2005 to now.

Christmas Tree Is Up ...

Photo-A-Day 2.0 #02510 Yesterday we put up the trees and today we decided to decorate the tree after dinner. Our tree is now mostly our family photo ornaments. We have a bunch of ornaments but with over 20 years of family photo ornaments it look like the predominant ornament type that we'll see. We did get a 2025 Hallmark one as well and I have to select this year's photo.
