Star Wars obsessed. This episode made me GIDDY! I discovered that Star Wars had “A New Hope” in the title from the tv guide in the newspaper! I was so confused why there were extra words.

I also loved the specials on how Star Wars and Indiana Jones movies were made. AND my first real job out of college was working as a movie production assistant under Bruce Nicholson. Bruce won academy awards and created the visual effects for Star Wars, Indiana Jones, and more. Listening to his stories on how he created the scenes of ships flying through stat fields was a dream.

Wow, good conversation. Yes! Let's talk more about dealing with the loss of special interests. Angela, I love that term you used that I had never heard used before but I totally connect with..."Brain Crush." Thank you both for your candor and sharing your real life examples. So very helpful.

I draw and paint. It's my giant SpIn since I was able to sit and hold a crayon.

As a young adult I felt so bad for doing anything creative because it didn't make money. Just starting to get over the guilt of doing something I enjoy and improve skills that interest me.

As a knitter, having multiple current "Works In Progress" helps me switch when I get bored. I don't loose my progress, just "WIP-Switch."
