Darth Vader brings Michael Jackson to a whole new generation

Is it just me, or has there been a lot more Michael Jackson on the radio in the past year than in the preceeding 5 years?

At Star Wars weekend at Hollywood Studios, at the end of each day they do something called "Hyperspace Hoopla". The Star Wars characters put on a little show. As a part of that, Chewbacca, the female Star Wars characters and Darth Vader each compete in a dance contest. Darth Vader danced to Beat It this year, compete with jeweled glove. As a result, my son now loves that song. Chewbacca danced to walk this way, which was hilarious for many reasons. I hope there was a cooling device in that costume, dancing like that on a 95 degree day!

My son competed in a Fun Run this weekend. Traditionally, I have run with him in these races. This time, he ran the entire time for the first time ever, and he is now faster than me. Granted, my speed is nothing to write home about, but this being the first time I couldn't comfortably keep up with him was a big deal. He liked being able to be waiting for me at the finish line. Yay for him! :-)

Definitely not just you. A famous artist's death seems to make everyone nostalgic.

Yeah, nothing like dying to rev up your career.
