Tonight I went for a run, around 7, and about ten minutes into it, I was going over a bridge on the bike path, in the middle of the woods. Ahead I could see two boys, looked around 12, looked to be nerds. I'm totally ok with nerds, but they all need to admit it when they're nerdy. These two were. They each had one of those toy light sabers from Star Wars, the kind that if you swing it, the colored shaft shoots out of the handle, kind of a telescoping thing a ma bob. The skinny one was blonde with glasses and the other fat and dark haired. Their poses seemed as if I might have caught them in a light saber duel, and they stopped as soon as they saw me. And again, I ain't mad at em, some of my good friends are nerds, and I'm sure I went through this same period as a lad too. But when I could hear what they were arguing about, it made my day. They were arguing over who killed Emperor Palpatine. One was saying "it was Darth Vader, when he threw him down that shaft, and all the lightning came back up, and that's what actually killed Vader too." And the other was saying, "No that wasn't him dying. so and so killed him when...blah blah blah". And I couldn't hear all of it. But I was so happy hearing young men talking Star Wars, and playing Star Wars like I did as a young jedi apprentice, er, um, I mean when I was a kid. And there's no way these boys knew I'd be coming through the woods tonight, and there's no way they saw my ALL STAR WARS SATURDAY blog last weekend. But God knew. And God was watching. And He did all this, for my entertainment. So theres your proof, sinners.
