Why I Started a Lego City

It came to my attention today that I haven’t posted any of my YouTube videos to this blog. I don’t regularly post on YouTube at this point, but I figured I may as well make a connection here. I made this video a year ago to share the story of why I started building a Lego City with Rey:

Truthfully, I don’t enjoy the process. I love taking pictures, but I dread editing / publishing them. Mostly because it requires too much time staring at a screen.…
