Project Hail Mary

May 2, 2026

Took the kids to their first drive in experience. I was flashing back to riding in a friend’s parents’ minivan in Wysox, PA. The kids had the Squatch (my van), I had my sleeping bag on the grass. Some stars above. The night was perfect. John and Simon, who are both very particular about a fair many things considered the film “the best”, and their “favorite”. Winning.

I’ve been meaning to listen to the audiobook for years, but none of my three libraries have it. I loved the film! SciFi is almost always a winner with me, but this was less SciFi and more a buddy film : a GREAT buddy film! :).
