Parental thrill seeking
The most fun I ever had as a parent was taking Don and a vanload of his friends to The Empire Strikes Back when it opened.
They thought we were going to a Disney movie. They thought Don’s parents were wimping out on Empire because they couldn’t handle it.
When the music started and the curtains opened, Don screamed, pumped his fists, and gave a wide-eyed mouth-open look of delirious joy to his friends.
Which is how I felt when Chris Michel sent me this photo of Don with his lifetime hero, George Lucas. I know that expression… He’s trying to contain his delirium.
