Major Life Events

This past holiday season, I watched Star Wars (Episode IV: A New Hope) with my son for the first time. He loved it. Life is good.

I also excavated my old Star Wars figures from a bin in the garage and “shared” them with the lad. We built starcruisers for them made out of Legos.

Kellen, finding himself behind our poor overweight and undergroomed Sheltie, used his first quote, in context, from any movie that I can recall:

“Will somebody get this big walking carpet out of my way?”

Not sure I could have been more proud if he’d just devised a working cold-fusion reactor.

Over the next few weeks we completed the Trilogy, Ewoks and all.

It was awesome seeing his eyes get all big in shock and surprise when Vader told Luke he was his father…

Then, just this past weekend, I was addressed with:
“Your powers are weak, old man.”

Ouch. The Circle, it seems, is now complete.
