In a galaxy far far away

Okay, one addendum to that last post about memories.

In the second box, under a bunch of other crap, I found a stack of comic books that I found to be worth over $600 - so that's nice. But, most important, I also found ... all my old Star Wars toys. For all you Star Wars geeks, that means the original Millenium Falcon and Star Destroyer playsets, and also a lot of the characters: Han Solo, Darth, C3PO, R2D2, Luke Skywalker, Chewie, and so on.

Even better, I brought all of these out for my daughter to see, and she went nuts (my son did too, but mostly he was excited because he just found some new chew toys).

So naturally, I figured it was time to introduce her to the Star Wars movie. It was a proud moment to sit on that couch with my arm around my daughter, watching the opening scroll. We bypassed some of the more gruesome moments, but overall, a success.
