Have you ever had a toy that you couldn't wait to hold in your hands and play with it? One of the fun things of observing grandchildren is that they awaken in you memories and feelings from your own childhood. After watching Eric, I remembered how excited I was over trains. The years may go by, but whenever I see a train set, I am drawn to it and have to stop, stare, and ponder its many moving mechanical parts.

The mechanical age has been replaced by the digital age. You can't even find train sets in toy stores. But the digital age has its own magical powers of fascination and intrigue. All you have to do is to see the excitement and fascination in Eric's face and the magic is there.
