"You came in that thing? You're braver than I thought!"
~ Leia to Han
Remember your first car? It may not have looked like much, but to you it could fly. Got you beyond the captivity of your own Emperial Fleet (sorry Parents), and take you on untold adventures through new and mysterious lands. Even if they were only across town to the places that you couldn't fathom of on foot.
Mine was a 1977 Chevy Monte Carlo. It was big, fast and I LOVED that car!!! I felt alive just getting behind the wheel. But to some it was a boat, or a older relic that had a couple of issues. My parents had taken extremely good care of it, but it did have things that just went wrong.
But it amazed me and made me feel good to sit behind the wheel and accelerate to wherever my imagination and a few bucks of gas would take me.
You know I'm kind of like that first car, or maybe even better: I'm like the Millinneum Falcon!

Yeah - that describes me. I may not look like much, but I don't quit. I don't hesitate to continue on. I don't shy away from a challenge, well most of the time. There are times when my shields don't work. The Hyperdrive is out and I just limp along and can't get much going that seems positive. But if you need me to rise to the occasion - I won't give up. Not on those who matter to me. Not on what's truly important in my life.

But tonight I'm still working out a bug or two in the wiring. I need to take myself out for a few more test flights and then hopefully everything will start to fall in place and I'll propel forward into what tomorrow holds...
but, if not...
"Would it help if I got out and pushed?"
