Back to school. Our daughter is in 2nd grade now. That's a crazy thing to me. I showed her The Dark Crystal a couple of weeks ago, and as the credits rolled, she said: "That was a good movie." Ever since, she's been occasionally making the skeksi Chamberlain's "hmmm." Last night I saw that Netflix has a reboot series. However, it's rated PG, and looks a bit too dark for now. It doesn't look too great anyway. I am sure they rushed it out to catch the 80's wave. Interesting, I just came across this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Dark_Crystal I do agree with Jim. I think we'll do The Never Ending Story next. Since my wife and her have been to China a couple of times without me, my daughter asked that we do a Daddy/daughter trip somewhere. Next month we are going to Maine for a long weekend. I booked an AirBnB cabin, and didn't realize it has no electricity. That should make it even better. I'm going to get a bow. My dad had a great non-compound with something like a 40lb pull, but I don't know where it went. I'm going to try to track it down.According to co-director Frank Oz, Henson's intention was to "get back to the darkness of the original Grimms' Fairy Tales", as he believed that it was unhealthy for children to never be afraid.
It was probably wood and if it hasn't been stored well, it will crack the minute you string it. My wife took up archery hard. You can get into a decent recurve for like $300, and if you find a local archery range they'll likely walk you through the training to use it.
