In case of a LEGO emergency

It's always nice to have an emergency set.

I used to keep notebooks and books written by others on hand, just in case I found myself with time to spare while waiting for a meeting or an appointment. But now, I've added small LEGO sets to the mix, keeping one inside my car at all times.

It turns out that building with LEGO sets is a nice way to spend a few idle minutes, particularly when that time is elastic and you're not sure just how much time you have to kill.

I guess it's not long before I keep a spare juice box and box of crackers to make sure I don't get cranky.
