Home from Star Wars Celebration V

Star Wars Celebration V in Orlando, C-3PO and R2-D2
Me with C-3PO and R2-D2 at Star Wars Celebration V in Orlando, Aug. 14, 2010

Wow! I’m home from my trip to Orlando for Star Wars Celebration V and can tell you, one day was not enough. One day was needed to explore the show floor and another day for hearing the lectures. I’m embarrassed to say I missed all of the lectures including the one with George Lucas. I will write a proper post summarizing the trip, will upload photos, maybe a video or two, and write stand-alone posts about Star Wars speed dating and five cool items for sale during the convention. So, stay tuned!

Visiting the Flight 93 National Memorial with My Dog

Driving through Western Pennsylvania’s rolling farmland, I held back tears thinking of the afternoon’s destination, the Flight 93 National Memorial. Almost 20 years later, the thoughts of the tragic events of September 11, 2001, still trigger deep emotions.
