As I mentioned on the last slide, my papa one time went to two different
states. Actually, he also went through Utah, but he would not have counted
that yet, because he didn’t even stay the night. After the college tour in
Arizona, he went on to San Diego, California. It was here that people were
holding a convention for EmptyCon. You’ve probably never heard of it. They
don’t do them anymore, because most of the fans are dead now. The first time
they did it was the first convention in the history of the world. Soon after
movies were invented, a bunch of them were made that told the story of a man
who accidentally traveled to a thing called EmptySpace where there weren’t
any suns or planets. Aliens only had ships, and there were stars that were
far away that gave them light. I’m not sure how they were able to build
ships without planets, but whatever. Papa was probably the youngest fan of
the movies, which are kind of stupid now that scientists know more about
space than way back before. He spent the rest of the weekend in San Diego,
talking with other fans, and the people who owned the movies, but none of
the actors who were actually in them, because they were long dead even by
then. I’m not into the movies, and neither is my dad. That’s not a problem,
though. Both of them taught me that it’s okay to not like everything that
the people you love like. I did some things with my papa, and sometimes he
did things on his own. It’s the same with my dad. They did things without me
too. Always keep an open mind, though. They taught me that too, so maybe
I’ll start liking EmptySpace one day when I’m older.
