Almost done with “Star Pilots” and it is getting me more and more excited for my big California adventure for Star Wars Celebration. If you like Star Wars Space combat and were a fan of old and new books and games focused on pilots, you’ll like this. @chriskempshall.bsky.social did a great job.
I am late for “Star Wars Reads” month but here is my Star Wars TBR pile. About halfway through “edge of the abyss” right now and I will probably start @chriskempshall.bsky.social ‘s “Star Pilots” next.
Wife- “hey, big green eggs are on sale if you want one” Me-“ no, I don’t think I will.”
One of the guys I Play DnD with is 26. And talking to him sometimes it is really clear he has no idea how bizarre our current political state is. His first presidential election was 2020. Literally never voted in a “normal” election.Idk what else to say. But the difference in perspective is weird.
Mills lost his nomination and now the new Republican whose experience included on his website includes “tv host, YMCA board, Christian school board and homeowners association” is going up against a 24 year Navy Veteran captain who is a former NASA chief of Staff. In any normal time…..
Forgot to mention that I saw Spiderman last week. It was a lot of fun. Seeing Spidey and Punisher in action together was my favorite part.

My daughter was spooked by this. I said “don’t worry sweetheart, they only have old grandpa guns in that movie. Your dad has stuff that would smoke small-middle size Dinos. But if it’s a T-Tex we might be a little screwed. Feel better?” “Maybe?” “Ok, go to bed.” #HATM youtu.be/WCJK8PepDsA?...

Gearing up for my second watch of “Mandolorian and Grogu” with the whole family. My non spoiler review is that they can’t all be Empire/Rogue One but this movie is a lot of fun, especially if you go in looking for a summer popcorn movie. #HATM

In about 12 hours I’m gonna be sitting in a movie theater seeing the first Star Wars on the big screen in 7 years. And then this weekend I am doing it again with my kids. This is the way.

Wanna hear something funny? Dad and I were at the “Bug Jam” VW show when it was finally official Biden won, I went to the “No Dough VW Show” today and Orban loses. I know what I have to keep doing.
I can’t imagine what the communication off radio is like in regards to that sat phone right now. To the moon and back and then the friggin sat phone is buggy…….
Went to the crystal shop with my wife and kids the other day (wife likes the stones) and my eldest (10 year old) saw a book by Erik Von Daniken and I had to tell her “that’s garbage.” She replies “well how do you know?” Well kid, pull up a chair, it’s time to begin…
There’s ALOT to unpack in that Mandalorian and Grogu Trailer. Including what might be a canon version of Yoda’s Jedi Master from legends. Check out my thoughts below. #HATM #Starwars youtu.be/mths_PuPC5I?...

Do yourself a favor and watch “The Muppet Show” revival as soon as is practical. Really hope Disney picks this up for a season or 6. We need this right now.

I re read the “Thrawn Trilogy” from the 90s and offer some thoughts. Did I like them? How can they inform choices being made for movies and shows today? Who should read them today? Check it out and let me know what you think! #Starwars #Thrawn youtu.be/cLQyFvQA0OY?...

I love the fact that #HATM is watching”Sinners” tonight. It’s a fun fact that @herberthistory.bsky.social personally messaged me and bullied me into seeing Sinners in theatres on a weeknight. It’s a great flick and I hope you all enjoy it, but I’m watching the Bears and manifesting their victory.

First workout of 2026. Between June and December last year I’m down 40lbs, goal is to keep up that momentum this year. #Histgym #arnoldspumpclub @schwarzenegger.bsky.social @ketch.bsky.social
Finding a half dozen vultures in my backyard is a good omen right? Is it still a good omen if they are surrounding a dead raccoon?
Lake Apopka Wildlife Drive is pretty rad next time you are in Orlando, take a couple hours and see some real Florida. (These are taken from inside my vehicle with a zoom lens)
I’m stoked that the original cut of “Star Wars: A New Hope” is coming to theaters in February of 2027.The special editions will have been out for 30 years in 2027. That means there are multiple generations of fans who have NEVER see the original cut. My kids included. It’s gonna a wild ride. #HATM
