Long ago and far away, in 1977, I wanted to watch the new science fiction movie, Star Wars. LI, four years old, wanted to see "For the Love of Benji," reciting the words of the ad verbatim in the announcer's tone. He won and we all saw a movie filmed in Greek and dubbed in English.
Our next cinema adventure was Star Wars, where Harrison Ford dominated. We have enjoyed science fiction together and Harrison Ford movies ever since. In the old movie theaters of my youth, we were dropped off when it was convenient for our parents. We came in the middle of the film and watched until it repeated and got to that point again. "This is where we came in" became a common saying of the time.
So there I was, in movie theater seats, at Walmart Headquarters, watching Harrison Ford live with LI. We did not have popcorn, but it was fun. The place was packed at 6:45 AM. Children strained to catch a glimpse of Ford.
Later we had an enjoyable time with the whole family.
