Winter Solstice 2019
Dec. 21st, 2019 09:41 amLast one this decade which is strange to contemplate for me. The 2009 into 2010 wasn’t even a blip on my radar but, for some reason, going into 2020 is making more of an impression on me.
Today is the shortest day of the year as in the least amount of light in the Northern Hemisphere but it is also the last Saturday before Hanukah and Christmas so there is that too.
Today I am working on one project to be mailed out Monday and getting the house in order for our journey down to Atlanta.
Tomorrow is the second half of that and packing.
I am looking forward to seeing my family and those rituals that have been part of my Christmas for as long as I can remember.
Yesterday we went to see Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker. I am asking for no spoilers in comments. Let’s let everyone experience it and make their own opinions not colored by spoilers that will not make any sense without seeing the film.
Overall, I am a very satisfied Star Wars fan. I saw the first film back in May of 1977 and immediately became a fan. I can say with no uncertainty it is the film that I have seen more times than any other film.
This one brought to a conclusion the whole series. It is not perfect but it does answers a lot of niggling questions and has so many moments for the fans. Conclusions can be harder to do than beginnings. You have set all the dominoes up and now you knock them down and look at the pattern. Kudos to everyone who has been involved in the making of these films. Y’all done good.
I can’t tell if the cats are fighting or playing or both but there is a lot of scampering right now.
I found that Amazon Prime had Arcadia of My Youth: Endless Orbit SXX which I had only seen in Japanese when it came out in 1982. It is interesting seeing it again. It hold ups very well. But then I am a big Harlock fan from way back. They also have some of the other TV shows and films in the series. I am a very happy Anime Fan.
Off to pick up from the latest puppet project and get ready for the next one.
I am grateful that I saw Star Wars in 1977.
