The blog has taken on a life of it's own of late...friends and readers have begun suggesting topics for "The Saturday Seven". This week's topic was a suggestion by my friend Mark T. who has taken to reading my ridiculous blog each week. Mark has young sons through whom he is reliving his childhood. Over sushi one day we discussed toys we liked as kids. Some of them are still around, and others have faded in popularity as video games and TV takes over the lives (and imagination) of kids. In an effort to avoid sounding like a crotchety-old-man, I'll just accept the new-fangled video game revolution as "progress". This brings me to yet another scintillating edition of
