Many of these shows and books flashback to 1989 or thereabouts – and I remember suddenly how I felt, what I experienced, how I lost so many parts of myself in the rush to grow up, trying desperately to live up to expectations and make money, to become successful and stifle who I am. We discuss and analyze and compare and contrast what we read and watch. I often include fun books in our morning read alouds to break up the seriousness and often tragedy of history. I love having film night with pizza each week. I am remembering my hobbies and loves of my childhood and youth and I feel safe to impart the appropriate parts on to my kids. I even panicked a bit as I flew along the edge when I was 14 on a trip to Puerto Rico.Īs an adult and parent to four children, I am coming to terms with my fascination with myth, legend, unexplained phenomena, and even new and experimental science. I escaped into worlds that seemed safer than my own.Īs a kid, I really thought I’d have more Bermuda Triangle issues than I’ve had in my lifetime. Maybe it was a safety net to attempt to learn about the unknown and unexplainable when I felt my life was falling apart. I read a lot about black holes and strange phenomena. I’ve always had a fascination with the possibility of time travel.
