After the events of Friday went well, I saw more of my family than I have in some time on Saturday. A big group of us went out for lunch at Cracker Barrel on Saturday to celebrate Tim’s birthday. The double nickel…the big 55. We had a good time and it was a nice way [...]

So…on Sunday, Toy Fair started in earnest. Several hundred thousand square feet of toys from around the world…both cool and shitty.
