Great Scott!

deloreanSaw this in the parking lot on my way to work this morning. I’ve seen it around the area before while driving. Totally lights up and everything. Then I remembered that under my jacket, I also happened to be wearing my Save the Clock Tower t-shirt. (My second such shirt, I wore its predecessor out.) Logic dictated that I needed to risk being late to the office in order to take proper pictures with this thing. So I made a u-turn, and went back. After all, any boss who doesn’t take “Oh, I had to stop and take selfies with a tricked out DeLorean” as an excuse for tardiness is not worth working for.

And to top things off, this is what I’m reading now, an awesome Christmas present I got from my parents earlier this week. I’m only a couple dozen pages in, but the story behind the movie is so amazing…how long it took to sell the script, how they shot the first few weeks with a different actor as Marty, how the clock tower and lightning scene was a last minute add-on to get the movie under budget.

It also has a lengthy list of actors they entertained for Doc Brown that I found fascinating, imagining how the movie would have worked with John Lithgow or Steve Martin or Eddie Murphy? So, it seems that the universe is trying to tell me something. Maybe it’s that I’ll soon cross paths with  Micheal J. Fox. After all, it’s my density, right?
