There's a scene during the duel between Luke Skywalker and Darth Vadar in The Empire Strikes Back where Luke, who has been holding his own to this point, gets hammered as the Sith Lord mentally tosses chucks of the room at him. No matter which way Luke turns, he's blindsided by a control console or slapped upside the head by a levitating droid, all the while trying to fend of Vadar's slashing lightsaber. Eventually, he gets knocked out a broken window to fall for a mile or so down a huge ventilation shaft, which sucks but at least for a few seconds, nothing is hitting him.
The last few days, I've learned what that feels like, except that I still have both hands, and my father is not the Dark Overlord of the Universe.
Between kids with the flu, snow storms, icy weather, work, and regular chores, my time for bloggin has shrunk to practically nil for the last week or so. Fortunately, every storm blows out eventually, and this one is showing signs of passing. With any luck, this post marks the beginning of a return to regular blogging. Then again, this could be just the eye of the hurricane, with more to come. Either way, rest assured that I will try to give you your money's worth every time you stop by.
Not too difficult considering that this is free...
and worth every penny.
