One of the better days on record in the last few months. I had a chance to walk my kid (and two of his brothers) around the campus of his future University. He is registered to attend college in the fall. It was not the moment of magic I thought it would be, but that was a fatherly delusion. Heck, he barely made it to the car before we drove off to the college without him. He showed a lack of interest for some time before he started getting interested and started talking about places on campus he wanted to check out. It was a realistic trip–he got to a point where he was finally interested and thinking about being here next semester. That is enough for me.
Some Thoughts:
- Weird to note but I am watching Star Wars: A New Hope and the Death Star plot feels waaaaay too similar to the new Top Gun to be a coincidence. I see you, Tom Cruise. I see you.
- Obi-Wan is a wonderful character and I enjoy what they are doing with him and enriching his and the history of that time period between episodes 3 and 4. It is a great sight to see.
- The kid got to start tonight in his 7s tournament. That represents growth and hard work. He fought to get the spot back and he earned it for at least this night.
