Having finished Douglas Coupland’s “Microserfs,” I was at Target over the weekend and saw a 1200-piece (!) tub of Legos in the toy section. I am now the proud owner of this imagination appliance. As I was paying for my purchase, the woman at the checkout said, “Would you like a gift receipt with this?” She couldn’t imagine that a husky 35-year-old man would want such a thing for himself.
“No,” I said, a little sheepishly. But only a little.
