Warrior Boy


Last night I looked over to find Spencer holding my 48" metal ruler I'd left on the floor next to me in the front room. His eyes were beaming as he said, "Man, you could go to battle with this thing. You could seriously hurt somebody!"

Star Wars: Episode 3.5


Our good friend Mike, who happens to be an aspiring filmmaker (among many other talents - he's also single ladies), made the mistake of telling our children about a feature in one of his editing programs that creates a lightsaber effect. He got roped into demonstrating it using footage of them. Over lunch one Sunday afternoon last summer Mike took some footage of the kids using Spencer's plastic lightsabers and created this. I've been meaning to post it forever. Tina recently brought to my attention that Spencer has requested some edits....Apparently he would like Tina and I added to the video and the tagline changed from it's current "3 New Jedis" to "3 New Jedis and 2 Padawans." Enjoy. Well done Mike. (oh, and ladies... he's also a brilliant writer, cartoonist, photographer and prince of sarcasm. He's no Magellan when it comes to navigation [possibly the understatement of the millenium] but he loves God and has a huge heart. If you would like to contact him through this site, feel free to post here. My finder's fee is negotiable....)
