When days are as wretched as this one, please take a moment to appreciate everything you have and remind yourself that while evil happens, wonderful things always outnumber the awfulness. Always. It’s a fact.

On the scorecard of Good vs. Evil, Good is winning by billions of points.

My thoughts are with the families who suffered a tragic loss today in Connecticut. I can’t hug them all or change what happened, though I wish I could. If there is anything I can do, let me know.

This is the most solemn intro to a Lego Calendar blog that I’ve ever written, and hopefully will ever write. I almost didn’t post this because looking at the news, a Lego Calendar seems even more insignificant than it usually does.

But I’m posting it anyway to remind myself about that Good vs. Evil scorecard.

It’s a Dog Bed!

Helicopter the dog now has better, more adorable furniture than the humans, and that’s how it should be. Helicopter deserves a bed. He has to put with Annie-Ann’s constant brattiness and Baby Robot Snowgirl’s annoying naivety (she thinks dog ears are handles).

Helicopter is good friends with Nintendo (a statement that only makes sense in the context of this calendar), but he needs his own space sometimes, and this bed is perfect.

Annie-Ann taunted Helicopter with his own bone.

That didn’t end well.
