Mr. Strega, an alpha geek, has emailed me two short YouTube films, which must be watched in sequence. Long ago, when Mr. Strega was just a little shaver, he was in a rocket club (but he swears he was NOT in the chess club). BTW, when Mr. Strega was eight or nine, he went to a meeting of his rocket club, and the clubhouse happened to be open. He strolled over there and happened upon an illicit poker game going on amongst the elder members of the rocket club. Mr. Strega asked to join up, to the mirth of the elder members, who allowed him to ante up and then dealt him a hand--which turned out to be four queens! Thus, Mr. Strega won the forty-dollar pot, and rushed out to buy...more rocket stuff (he was an alpha geek even then).
But anyways...for you Star Wars fans, I bring you the rise and fall of a life-sized X-wing fighter (powered by the good guys in Star Wars, as I recall). Someone says a bad word at the end, so cover the tender ears of your offspring or turn the volume down if you are offended by such things. You must watch the first clip, and THEN the second. And may the Force be with you.
My name is Joan McMillan and this blog is, as Emily Dickinson says, "my letter to the world." I am currently working on a nonfiction book about the murder of a young woman, Asha Veil, born Joanna Dragunowicz, and her unborn daughter, Anina, on September 9, 2006. My book is meant to honor her life and illuminate the need to create a safer world for women and children.
