I have a bit of a pipe dream. I want to be a toy maker. professionally.
Well, I like things that are fun.
I'm also pretty critical of the toys available in Toys R' Us (who decided to throw-up pink all over the girls' aisle?)
This being said -- I've got "toy making" on my to-do list (along with a million other things like correctly pronouncing items on a French menu, so everyone can say "wow, look at that sophisticated lady" or being able to name more than 5 African countries without going to Wikipedia).
We'll see when that happens. In the meantime, I've been fascinated by articles on toys & play, like this one my college friend, Allison, shared with me, which I'll discuss now.
