It's a rare Saturday when I wear a tie. Today's special occasion is celebrating 3 grandchildren's April birthdays, in Hyden, KY. All 3 like LEGO but it's especially important to Nate (now 11). Yes, the tie bar is made from LEGO bricks.

On this date seven years ago, Nate (Nathanael) David Howland Kleppinger was born! He has become an expert builder with LEGO (and Minecraft), and so it was not very surprising that he asked me to wear my LEGO blocks tie today!

 It's International LEGO Day! -- which gives me my very first opportunity to show this LEGO tie! It was a birthday present from August last year. The date for this celebration is built on this fact: "On January 28, 1958 at precisely 1:58 pm local time, LEGO submitted a patent application [in Denmark] for the bricks we know and love today with interlocking studs and tubes."
