Oldie Wan Kenobi vs Darth Cheekums

You know that you have reached a certain age when you can identify with certain museum pieces. I went to the World of James Herriot a few weeks ago and on display there was typewriter he used to write his famous novels. It was the exact same brand and make that my father used during his journalism years. I remember using it a few times as well...


(This is the exact model)

Gawd...I’m getting old.

At least I have this story to make me feel young again. We gave Faith, a tiny little lightsaber from a box of cornflakes and she loved it so much. As parents, we (well, I pushed for it) thought she might like a bigger version and so we went to the nearest (the only, in fact) Toys'r'us in town. Bought her a nice Obi-Wan Lightsaber. A few days later, we went down to get an Anakin Post-Sith version for daddy dearest. Just to make for interesting duels and play. Really, for Faith’s sake.

Yeah, right.
