Last weekend, my son had a great time with my old Erector set: He built various odds and ends while I built a crane like the ones that load and unload container ships. Even today, it's easy to burn hours conceiving a design and realizing it with construction toys. We have a lot of Legos and those along with my old Erector set—an amalgam of 5 sets, actually, making it fairly large—really facilitate the creative process for kids (of all ages). Watch a child with those types of toys and you'll really see their minds at work. It's a great thing.
Surfing later, I found Metallus. Oh my, what nice stuff to play with! Expensive, but I would expect no less for a well-made metal construction system in the year 2006.
In the gym, things are coming along. In this regimen, I'm now up to the step where the lever is performed with one leg straight, the other bent. In the first set, I held that for about 5 seconds, up from maybe 2 or 3 last week. Very encouraging.
The little ones and I laughed our heads off at A Night at the Opera a few days ago. One funny movie!
