STAR STORIES

When I was a kid, I looked up at the stars almost every night. My dad would tell me wild stories of his adventures on the moon and how he was responsible for naming the constellations. I should have known better when he told me Ursa Major, the bear constellation was named after Yogi Bear and Boo Boo was Ursa Minor. When you are six, the mythology of your dad is not to be questioned. It is to be savored. Tonight I will go out, look at stars and think about time, space and my father.
