Blockhead

Which reminds me that when we were in El Salvador during the gatherings of the missionary families that our family worked with there were often a lot of games played. Blockhead in particular was much enjoyed by all, both children and adults. There are some very funny pictures of the missionaries facing off in games of Blockhead missionaries John Bueno and Sterling Stewart stressing and straining to balance the blocks just right so that nothing falls. Of course, eventually someone will misplace a block and the whole teetering edifice will go crashing to the table or floor. Everyone always thought it was so funny. It was just a game, not to be taken so seriously. If you were looking to stage an "El Dorado" soap opera in Spain based on that you will be very disappointed that your investigation reveals nothing of interest. We were not the soap opera kind of people, obviously.
