Superman

I took Thomas to see the new Superman movie last Thursday.  And it was great.  Quite good.  This was a great scene.   I had quibbles with how Clark's human parents were portrayed,  but I thought this scene was beautiful. 

It made me miss my Dad.   

And there is part of me that's needed to hear the words of his father's direction said to me for a while.   A long while.....

Clark: you don’t understand pop. I’m not who I thought I was. 

Pa Kent: Parents aren’t for telling their children who they’re supposed to be. We’re here to give y’all tools, to help make fools of yourselves all on your own. 

Your choices, Clark. Your Actions. That’s what makes you, who you are… and I’ll tell you something son.

I couldn’t be more proud of you.
