May 4th

 May the Force be with you.  Or, as it's celebrated today, May the 4th be with you.  Star Wars geeks, and I proudly count myself among them, consider this to be a very special day.  My love of Star Wars goes all the way back to the very first movie in the series which was Episode 4, still the very best in the series in my opinion.  When the movie came out, my husband and I took our son, age 5, and our daughter, age 3 and went to the movie.  My daughter settled down on my lap and slept through the whole show.  On the other hand, our son quite literally sat on the edge of his seat, and watched the whole thing, completely enraptured.  It was as much fun watching him enjoying it as it was to watch the movie itself.  It was the beginning of his life long love affair with all things space related.  Several years of Space Camp sealed the deal and he has spent much of his adult life working at space centers and in other related fields.  I am happy to report that whenever a new Star Wars movie comes to a theater he and I make it a point to see it together,  Sweet memories.
